Ive been a bit of a lurker around these parts for the last year or so be nice

I currently drive a Honda Accord Type-R but im on the look for something new, something like a 3dr Scoob Type-R or any scoob that floats my boat at the time i decide to buy. I have one concern, petrol costs. I currently get between 250miles (when im redlining VTEC everywhere) and 320 (grandad mode, not that often) to about £55 of Optimax.

I drive 35miles a day, 5days a week for work. So will my petrol costs be much more with a Scoob? Is there much diff in MPG between the different classic model scoobs? Yes i understand im buying a performance car and i shouldnt be too concerned with mpg, but i wont be ragging it everywhere all the time so id like to know what mpg is possible.

Im totally ignorant to how many miles scoobs do to a full tank so please, no "IF YOU HAVE TO ASK YOU CANT AFFORD IT" replies. Thanks ppl

 

Im lucky if i see 200 miles on a full tank

 

Sounds like about the same.

My classic UK Turbo running 273/273 returns about 220 to a tank, mainly around town with the odd motorway blast.

I am sure if I did more A road/Mway I would get 250+.

 

My classic UK turbo is running 383/365

 

My impreza P1 gets 100 miles to £20 on Tesco 99, Which is pretty good

 

30 mpg is achievable

20 is more likely

Less than 20 and you may as well get your car coloured a nice Burberry check ...... you will be driving like the king of Chavs!

Depends what driving you do. Been getting around 16mpg with town work, but did a run to gatwick the other day which is just over 210 miles and had a quarter of a tank left when I got there.

 

same as many others around 240 miles to £45-50 of petrol...

motorway miles do help though and stretch it out a little, but its the round town driving that ***** you up. what sort of driving would you most be doing???

 

28miles a day on fairly quiet A roads, and 7miles town driving, again not usually much traffic.

 

sod it get the scoob you will gain 3 inches on your *****... i have 4 inches now!!

 

Sounds like a scoob wont be that much more if any then wot im paying now. Thanks for everyones replies, cheers.

 

go for a sti type-R - that way you wont have to change your username

p.s. look at the type-R thread in the mambers gallery area.....

 

Ah - that explains your thirst for go-go juice
