Drive my wrx ppp for work & will do approx 35k pa. With a mixture of town & motorway driving I'm averaging around 28mpg, the lowest 21 & the highest 30. Don't hang around & carry a boot full of gear for work so quite pleased. Got the 3 year or in my case 36K free servicing with mine so at least the servicing bills should be light for the first year at least lol!!

Hi, you have PPP? to be honest I am tempted but am worried about the MPG. How have you found it ?

 

What I mean is how have you found the MPG compared to without PPP !!

 

Yep got what you mean Can't answer that one I'm affraid as I bought the car new & got ppp fitted before I picked it up but I have driven a standard wrx & IMHO PPP dos'nt seem to effect the mpg unless your flooring it everywhere, hence my 21mpg!

****, does everyone in the UK have a late model subie, i mean my car is a 1990 legacy GT wagon with 203,000 (km) on the clock, and im sure its been wound back

 

Well now one was more shocked than me, filled up drove to Birmingham, then half way back filled up 310 miles light hadnt come but didnt want to chance it to the next services, put 50 litres in....was doing an average 75-80...

03 STI PPP, although not as comfortoble on long jurneys

 

There you go, makes my 300 + to the tank not seem quite so remarkable being a MY04 WRX No PPP !

 

After 400 odd miles makes me wonder why i didnt buy a WRX, would of been a more comfortable jurney.

 

My 03 Sti does about 220miles per tank and thats using optimax!! Thats not hard driving either, if i put my foot down on country roads it gets about 140 per tank. Should i make an appointment with the Subaru dealer?????

 

Put the Prodrive Spring Kit on the WRX and you'll not notice much difference on the motorway to the STI.



Bumpity bump but not too lumpy!! Just not the "cushioned" ride of before.

Funny thing is when I have some Beemer or the like up my backside that I can't shake off I wish I had bought an STI !!

 

lol time for PPP me thinks

Going back to the title of this thread, anyone gonna beat my mileage then or do I declare myself the highest mileage Scooby driver ?

 

I did 26K in my P1 in 4 months, that's the most I've ever done. The SpecC is coming up to 8 months and it's done 27K almost, so not bad going I suppose

 

Cool, that takes some doing 6.5k per month, what where you doing ?

 

Mines the same around town, but a long run today shows what it is capable of and i was using optimax

 

About 150 down private roads (of course)

But mostly business miles back and forth to Staffordshire from my home (about a 170 mile round trip each day), that didn't help. And then client visits when I got down there as well, that could be up to another 200 miles trip when I got there, soon runs up - but every last mile was a pleasure

 

I do about 3000 miles a month in mine.

 

So doing at least 55k per year I declare myself the winner !!

Unless you know different ................

 

Opposite way for me, done 2,900 miles in the 205 since buying it last September

Much less now the engines blown

 

done 9000 since jan 1 this year, feel better seeing yours though!

 

MY00 bought with 43K on the clock 9 months ago.


Now on 51K
