Check for holes/leaks in your exhaust. My other scoob (Legacy) suffered from this last week and it went through huge amounts of juice. But the sound was fantastic!

wrxcity,

You are correct......... your maths is crap

£135 /.94 = 143.6 litres

143.6 litres / 4.546 = 31.6 gallons

324.6 miles / 31.6 gallons = 10.27 mpg

YOU STILL HAVE A PROBLEM



Hopefully see you tonight

Yeah deffo something not right , would cost me about £70 to do 320 miles, but just last week my lambda sensor started playing up and i was never out of the shell garage, my fuel bill went sky high, new sensor in and much much better, might be woth changing that unless you all ready have?

Evo and speye91 i'll meet you at the car park opposite the petrol station 7.10

Found an alternative route, without so much motorway.
Think I would probably need a co-driver, bound to get lost otherwise
Will there be Bikes there? May be able to persuade a mate.

Is anyone still meeting up at Washington services at 9.00, for the run down to Elvington or has the weather stopped it?
