This is world record breaking stuff for me normally I get about 220-230 miles out of a tank.

Only downside is, that i'm running it in so I can't go about 3k. But the good mpg cheered me up.

 

Now im getting scared, my import turns up this week and I just got 500+ miles from a tank in my 323bm..
At least I live only half a mile from the nearest optimax pump

 

I normally get 500 miles out of a tank, crusing at 90 or so

 

You should be able to get more than that out of a full tank when get a few thousand miles on the engine. Mine started to get better after the 8K mark. Would often get around 30 to 31 mpg in combined driving.

My cars got approx 43500, its just had new pistons, and pistons rings to sort out the piston slap.

The 220-230 mpg is the mpg i've been getting for last 8 months of ownership and seems to be the standard for my model of Scooby (MY98 Uk Turbo)

Cheers

In my UK300 PPP MY01 I get between 280 and 300 miles on a tank on average ... this is for combined driving but mainly motorway, obviously much depends on the old heaviness of your right foot

In my old MY99 Turbo (SS BB and ITG panel filter), on a warm day on the autobahn using SUL in Germany and cruising between 90 and 100mph I got 370 miles on one tank and the red light hadn't even flicked on

The MY03 cars are 'supposed' to be much more frugal than the older ones .....

My driving is a mixture of a round town and a lot of traffic. Plus if i get a bit of open road I do like to take advantage

Cheers

danny-boy,

In my MY98 I get about 280 per tank on optimax in mixed driving witha few good blats

 

I think a ECU reset may be called for.

Will do that that tonight.

Great fun

 

280..240..220...???

I'm lucky if i get 220 miles to the tank.
The norm is about 200 miles to the tank.

The least I have got out of the UK300 is 200 miles and the least out of the MY99 Turbo was 135 miles

Phil

 

I can get 550+ miles from a tank cruising at 80mph as well.
And i have 225lb/ft of torque at 1900rpm.

 

ok this is starting to worry me now, i seem to be getting like 150 miles to a full tank

before we get deep into how im driving it, im not hammering it. once a week maybe actually using the turbo the rest of the time its normal piddly little distances at 30mph.

 

This is turning into a mixed bag of results.

My driving is 40 miles a day to work which consists of mainly 30's) and weekends pottering around, and I get approx 240 out of a tank.

I'm not worried any more, it's only money i guess! Who wants to be the richest bloke in the grave yard anyway

Cheers

Dan

 

Sorry but I think the people saying they are getting in excess of 500 miles need to go have there trip computer checked out, got to be something wrong there me thinks !!

 

I wish I got 500 out of a tank, that would make owner a scooby easy

Dan

 

Danny Boy?

How have you resolved your piston slap problem - have IM helped you out?

Ben.

 

Yup yup, all paid for by IM, I paid for a new cam belt as it was getting taken off to do the work so I thought I'd seize the opportunity to get the cam belt changed as my 45 k is due soon.

Email me mate if you have any questions.

Cheers

Dan

 

I get 250 miles to a full tank. If i'm being good. 50 Miles a day motorway driving, restricted to 70 cos of traffic. Its when u put your foot down to accelerate, that the miles go south.

Hard not to !! In-it ??

 

Danny,

Got it sorted then?

Best i've had is 330 on a trip from Cirencester to North Yorkshire - then some mixed driving opppt there


Iain

 

Yeah thanks Iain, all sorted now. Just this running in is killing me, 400 miles down, 600 to go


Cheers

Dan

 

I have a my01 with full de-cat and ITG panel filter and I get 220 if I drive like a grandad, normally 200 miles per tank of optimax but I do like to give it a blast.

 

I average between 280 & 320 to a full tank, mostly the 280 miles tho, with a bit of spirited driving

On trips to London & Back, Ive had 370 but I stuck to 80mph all the way there and back, quiet motorway too, so no stop start nonsense, and with the odd 40 & 50mph cruising through roadworks

 

Mainly down to how much you do steady speed cruising, and how much you do stop start and cold engine.

My last 5 tanks have all been over 300 miles on my modified MY02 WRX, but they've all included a fair distance plodding along the motorway at motorway speeds. I have had below 200 miles once - but the longest journey was about 8 or 9 miles, so it never really warmed up (and therefore I wasn't thrashing it either)

 

My record so far is 317 miles on a tank of optimax in my STi type r now that takes some beating

 

My record was 300, by averaged about 210 to 240. MY00

 

Scooby-tc

Methinks your tripmeter is still reading KMs

Most Ive seen 218 miles (And that was just before it blew up cause it was running lean)

Have also got 60 ltr tank.

 

Bog MY00, 365 miles out of 55 litres of plain old BP UL. Mixed conditions - woke up the turbo about twice! Miss Daisy would have loved it (apart from the ride).

I think my worst was about 220 miles - probably the following tankfull

 

NEW O3 WRX RUNNING IN ON OPTIMAX ABOUT 300 TO A TANK ONLY 4500 RPM,
500 MILES STILL TO GO. PPP THEN WILL SEE WHAT IT WILL DO?

 

theres no way a classic will get 550+ miles plus at 80 mph on a motorway. No way on this earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got 380 in my p1 doing 80 mph on motorway when the light clicked on.
