Hi folks
Got a 05 sti with ppp green panel filter and miltek exhaust and a re map getting the above miles for £30 is that about right nowadays

 

Hahaa. With your foot flat maybe. A little high but depends on driving style.

A tank of fuel in my sti does 220...230 miles. With the missus driving it's about 250. I have given up trying to match her.

 

You didn't say what fuel you were using ie price/litre!
A very simple calculation will show that equates to 17.6 mpg using V-Power at 136.9/litre
If you are using the performance then yes, that's ok. If you're just poodling around you should see 23-24 mpg

Oh yeah sorry
Mainly Tesco super at about 127' to 128.5 a litre

 

At 128.9/litre you're getting only 16.6 mpg!
Where on Earth is it still that cheap?

JohnD

 

You should be getting around 24mpg with those mods, I'd get it looked at (assuming this is not while on a race track ;o))

 

In Mansfield mate but saying that I ain't put none in for a wk so could of gone up

I thought it was low it's only driving to work and back daily trip of 14 miles on the a38 so it's not like it's stop and starting!!!!
Who would look at it a garage or mapper!????????
Thanks everyone

 

Yes that is very low indeed
I get 250 to the tank on low fast ten mile blasts for the last ten years
Remap for you I'm afraid

Only had one in dec

 

i filled the tank back up to full yesterday it took 22 pound and i done around 80 miles to that,im running 445 bhp,that is a bit of mixed driving,yours by the sounds of it needs a good looking at

 

new saloon getting around 260 to 300 a tank with Vmax, but thats driving motorway in I mode, clock says 31.6 MPG

Floor it and its gone LOL

 

I tend to get anything from 18-25mpg depending on driving.

 

Snap same as me misses can def wring more out than me but hey ho i pay for the fuel

 

My 2003 STi with VF43 decat and remap does 190-200 miles to a tank normally,Even when i bought it with PPP it still did the same, 17mpg sounds about right to me

 

Do you think getting in touch with my mapper and seeing what he says is a good start then chaps??? It was mapped on the road so might c what he says about getting it on the rollers

 

Fill it up top the brim and reset the trip meter and see what return you get from a full tank You aint really doing a long enough journey to work to see a better fuel return mate tbh, i used to do 40+miles aday and would get 300 miles from a full tank Also what do you do in the mornings ie just start and drive or do you leave it ticking over to warm up?

 

Totally normal with re map, and fuel prices.

 

Hi Craig - no probs with checking it out on the dyno with you but the issue is the 7 mile trips where the car is hardly warmed up and still in overfueling when cold mode. There were no issues with the fueling on the closed loop side of things with it last week when I checked it out with you then.

As said above - try filling the tank and running it to empty (will still do 40 miles once yellow light is on) as the movement on the gauge is very erratic and impossible to judge a fuel economy from.

HTH

 

It's the wife so start and go
She knows not to put foot down whilst cold though

 

I agree with the above, if your town driving forget it, Motorway then its good.

yesterday i did Leeds Chesterfield and back 127 miles on just over 1/3 of a tank

i has 1 notch above half left

 

If i lived only 7miles away from work i would go by bike instead (weather permiting)

 

Ha ha ha yeah I'll tell the wife that

 

Hi Duncan yeah thanks for that
Think I'll get it re mapped on rollers when we've found me a good turbo and bigger injectors
What you think???

 

God it's hard to find a gd turbo

 

19mpg on my 03 Sti ppp on 7 mile run to work and 7 back everyday.

 

So mines roughly the same???

 

My old STI PPP did 150 miles to £50 of Tesco (Mansfield)

 

I would say its about normal tbh ...... ive done similar in mine

 

i get 230miles around town with the odd blast, motorway around 300,

ive never had the fuel light come on,i didnt even know i had one lol.

my07 wrx running 355bhp
