no idea i cant afford to fill the tank.

out of interest how much does it take to fill a classic. on average

 

when My lights come on Its took about £55 to fill up then reset the trip
hate paying for fuel!

 

anyone noticed how people using tesco 99 Octane get less the the people using Vpower on average maybe it has something to do with tesco's high Ethanol and Silcone content.

i got 310 to a full tank

33miles to 10nr and 100 miles to 25 quid and thats staying of boost using 95 ron maybe im doing summit wrong???

 

sounds like mine

 

Oddly though I can get 77 miles to a tank on 10r once


Emphasis on the once!!!

 

Any where between 200-240miles on a 50ltr tank, normal A to B driving (not round town).

When I was on track last week I averaged about 4mpg!

500+bhp with 1150cc "HosePipe" Injectors.

 

Had 320 from a full tank, probably 70% motorway. Driving like an old fart however... Off boost as much as poss and never went over 75mph.

De-cat
Green Panel Filter

 

250- 280 miles on a tank driving sensibly yet planting it at times generally when misses aint in car

uk classic decated with panel filter

 

Woo - made 300 on my last tank (from full to the light coming on) but had to drive like a grandad to do it - boo!!

Seem to be averaging about 260, that's with 75% motorway (at about 70) then a bit of fun in the twisties.

98 UK wagon with decat (no map) on 95ron

 

And keeping an eye on the boost gauge definitely helps when trying to be economical.......

 

I'm getting about 270 with normal driving....bit of flooring it and a bit of grandad style and thought that was bad , but after reading this I reckon my scoob is running normal !
Would the 02 sensor make the biggest difference to the petrol consumption if that was a bit dodgy ?

 

Just out of interest does my 2001 uk classic have a fuel warning light?

 

how many miles to a tank mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm PASS

 

im runin 350bhp/343 lbft trq and seein 260 to a 55l tank mixed driving everyday thats on v power or tesco 99 whichever is closer when i need to fill

 

It's not much, but hey the sound is sweet. Traded in the stereo for a few extra miles

The burble lives on

Dawg

 

yes it does.

 

I get around 300 miles to a full tank of V Power. However, I have started doing more motorway driving. Previous to this I got 250 when doing short runs. Got a dump valve, exhaust and induction kit. I have a mixed drive of hard acceleration and normal driving. As a rule now I tend not to watch the fuel guage, just drive drive drive, then fill when the light comes on. I also drive a BMW 520d, i can drive this hard all day and get a return of 47 MPG!!!! Not as fun tho!! 26 MPG scoob but worth every penny!!

 

the new hatch STIs are really thrifty on the motorways. 30 mpg is easily achievable at 70MPH. 35mpg if you stick behind a coach and if you drop the speed to just below 60 and stick behind a lorry you can get over 40mpg.
My last 700 miles (mostly on the motorway) average 36.4mpg. The first 100 miles averaged 41.7. Its become an obsession with me. Watching that damn fuel gauge all the time. But its good fun. The pull from these coaches is amazing. I was behind a car behind a coach on sunday for about 80 miles doing about 75MPH and averaging 45MPG.
The gauge is accurate too. Got to London and back on a tank full with a gallon to spare. thats 390miles return trip

 

I think Optimax isn't as good for the economy.

Optimax 300 to a tank

Tesco 99 320+ until the red light comes on.

03 WRX de-cat, filter, map to 275 bhp

5t.

 

what is the tesco 99? is that a better grade of fuel?
