How many of you use your Impreza on a daily basis for a reasonable commute to work?


What sort of mileage are you getting to a tank full of fuel?


I have an 80 mile round trip everyday which is mainly motorway and fill up twice sometimes three times a week.


At some point I shall buy a nice economical daily driver but I just wondered if anyone uses their car for a reasonable commute every day.

I do use mine everyday to work and any other rounds i have to do, £50-£70 Vpower a week.

I'm doing about 100 miles a week at the moment which is mostly sub-40mph in traffic to and from work, I'm putting in about £30 every 6 days. Not most economical car for a commute, but I don't think that's a surprise to anyone

I used to use mine everyday for a 80 mile a day commute with a one day a week 160 mile trip plus personal mileage that varied.....was filling up just under twice a week!! Used to get between 250-300 miles depending how steady I took it when running standard. Thankfully not my daily anymore since I've boosted the power as 240 miles is a luxury now!

54 miles a day in mine. Approx 5 days a week to £70 v-power

I used to commute 120 miles a day - when fuel went over £1 / litre I switched to buying and running an old shed and only used the scoob for some fun at weekends and the occasional trip to work. Currenntly use a Y reg Primera which is a lovely pearlescent lime green

I do 60 miles a day to work and back in my Legacy GTB, £80 a week on the expensive stuff.
Been doing this in it for 5 years now, apart from a couple of months when a big end popped. Dropped a unknown used motor in it 2 years ago, and just carried on.

I use mine daily, luckily i dont live to far from work, probably fill the tank up once a fortnight maybe a bit less and get about 200ish miiles to the tank depending how i drive

I used to commute 70 miles per day, about half on back roads and half on motorway. I used to only get 250 miles to a tank, so was on a three day fill cycle - 70 quid a tank *ouch*.

Should have got myself a diesel much sooner than I did.

70miles a week to work, fill up about £50-60 depending on how I drive it

SkullFudge

Average about 22 mpg unless I have a caveman sitting next to me whilst lapping Snetterton then I do a tank in 22 minutes

Used mine every day since it was new in 2006. Do approx 100-150 miles per week and return the same MPG now it's modified as I did when it was standard, 24mpg. Fill up on V-power every 1.5-2 weeks at £55-£60.

DrDiesel

60 miles/day.
Commuted in the Scoob 'til last year, but its an old diesel now.

Occasionally use the Blob as a treat - & people get out of my way on the Motorways!
Yes, even the Audi & Beemer tw*ts.

I dont use it every day by any means, but I have tracked fuel usage on an iPhone app since Jun 2010 since then I have done the following.

17,072 Miles thats 17.9 Miles a day on average

£4,880.65 spent on fuel thats £5.13 a day !

Scary eh?

On a full tank, I travel 80 miles a day - 5 days a week - mostly motorway.

At around 56 mph, I can get about 350 miles a week until I need to refill. At 70 mph I get about 300 miles.

I have a classic wagon, completely standard, apart from the Cosworth Panel Filter and I use Tesco 99.

Let's be honest though guys, You don't by a scooby for economy do you

xcore

140 miles a day, just under 30 quid in fuel. Good job work pay for it!

60 miles a day round trip, WRX Turbo - around £50 - £55 p/w v-power

jacko84

i do 30 miles a day for work then use the car all weekend, fill up every sunday with £60 - £70 depending on the traffic that week

I don't use it in my current job as the 4-5 mile trek wouldn't even get it properly warmed up. In my last job I did a 55 mile round trip, 5 days a week and would fill up once a week

I think there is no point owning a scoob if your not driving it, so the question to you is, do you want to be without a scooby, because your not the kind of guy to drive that milage in a shed, which means you'll get something decent and put the scoob in the garage with the intention of driving it at the weekends.

But after a month or so it will become a pita to get it out, and as i did with my first blob, when i had my shiny new works volvo sat on the drive you just end up jumping in that all the time, then start thinking there's xxx grands sat in the garage doing nothing plus insurance etc, so i sold it, which was a mistake and the reason i have a blob wagon as a daily and a type r in bits in the garage

Daz i told you before, you have subaru blue blood in your veins, learn to live with it.

So true my friend. I'm considering getting a nice little 1.4 diesel Fiesta. It will then make the scoob even more special. Driving it every day you get a blasé as to what a fantastic car it is.
