My old 95 wrx would rarely return more than 20 miles per gallon. But the new model wrx sti type R few mods and pushing out 300bhp is giving 25 miles per gallon. Chuffed to say the least does anyone else get the same mileage. Graham.

 

Got 33.4 out of a P1.
Drove like a nun with a blindfold on though.

 

Last time I worked it out I got 31.24 mpg mostly motorway, but bit around town (booting it a bit, as you do of the lights). Air con. on average speed on motorway was 80 to 100 mph.

Hope this helps, Phill C

Perhaps you have a mechanical / engine managment problem? 25mpg should be no problem if the car is driven carefully.

David

 

R U sure babber or do you have a diesel? Do you do a brim to brim measurement or guesstimate?

I thought I was doing well at 27.45 MPG!!!! - from mixed back roads and motorways.

The thing I find with my WRX is the harder you drive the more fuel it drinks, driving like the aforementioned nun will return about 28mpg (maybe 30 max) and pushing very hard on the twisties 15 mpg if you use most of the revs!

I tend to get 22-24 mpg from mine!

Jon

 

Graham,

You must be taking it easy, or your wife isn't quite pushing the car to it's limits!!

Find some of your sons friends and I bet it goes down to about 15mpg!!!

Andy

 

I've had two MY00's and niether would shift far from 22mph with any amount of careful driving. Urban or open road driving about the same!

Scoobydoodette..

LMFAO

 

Floyd,

Yes I'm sure. Fill her up, drive. Fill her up again. Litres divide by 4.55, clock mileage divide by gallons used. MPG ?

Am I right or wrong?

Cheers Phill C

 

MY00 gave 210 miles to 50 lts.
My P1 when going to Scoobysport and PE mostly motorway gave 340 miles to 52 lts. Speed was 80-100 with two blast to 125-130 and one to 150 mph.

Edited to say 29.75 mpg

UK94...

17MPG

Around 120 miles per tank....

My MY00 did just over 30mpg during the fuel crisis but i never got on boost; I couldn't have driven it more gently.

Normally 20-24 depending on how much fun I have

Why are P1's so good?

Are PPP'd cars better than standard?


Richard

 

I got 38/39 mpg during fuel crisis, but that was doing 50mph on the motorway, and coasting down any incline


330d can average 45/50 mpg at 80mph though

 

Between 20-23 mpg normally about 21 mpg and yes that is using the turbo occassionally .

I reckon I could get 30 mpg if I didnt use the turbo but whats tha point. You have a car that can mix it with Porsches, Ferraris etc. if you want economy buy a diesel .

I would much rather enjoy 250+bhp and 20 mpg than 40 mpg and 100 bhp

 

I get about 230 miles to a tank which equates to about 19mpg
Mostly blatting around the streets too!!

Well, I've been experimenting a bit too recently. Managed to get at least 360 miles out of a full tank (usually fill with 54 litres).

Most I've ever managed was 394 miles. Had a few blast this week so will try for the elusive 400 miles next time around.

Stefan

 

come of it you sad people,
enjoy your cars and bugger the fuel!!!

 

The best I ever managed was 420km from 36 litres..... ie 261 miles from 8 gallons or 32.6 MPG, which was most unexpected! Mind you it was a long cruise at about 50MPH (darn traffic, I wish you could actaully get done for going too slowly on a motorway here like you can in more sensible countries). I've never managed to get quite that good again, I'm gettting about 250 miles out of 42 litres these days, about 27MPG on a cruise.

I think the worst I have ever had was 1/4 tank in 30kms which would equate to just 3MPG but I suspect that the fuel gauge isn't quite linear and that it was actually closer to the 6MPG I get on track.... but I don't tend to hold the car with the speedo off the end of the scale on track! Guess that running about 0.5 bar at 7000 RPM in top does consume a bit of the old juice, just glad I run water injection to keep the damn thing cool(er) under those conditions... also guess that piston oil spray helped a bit

Cheers,

Pat.

 

OK Phil C you're right- darn it!

What car do you do you have, what mods, how old, how many miles? Do you feather the throttle or use the Swedish method of 3/4 peddle up to 2500rpm before changes?

I've got a MY00 with 10K miles and no mods. I do motorway (80 avg) and back roads with traffic. I can't seem to get better than 27.5mpg - probably because I can't help myself and I boot it when the traffic lightens.....
