I'm averaging just over 19 mpg since I got the car back in April.

I've got an MY03 STi with TSL Firestorm and centre decat.

On a side note the 1 litre corsa im using as a courtesy car is giving me worse mpg than the scoob must say something about the way you have to drive it to go anywhere

My Scoob is a daily driver, and around town I rarely go into boost except away from the lights. I really don't see any point in traffic. Then I have my weekly playtime, where I go into the Dales and let rip, where a Scoob's meant to be.

My daily commute seems to give me about 18/19 mpg, but as an experiment I kept to 65-70 mph on the motorway to Manchester at the w/e and got 36 mpg average. Pretty pleased with that!

MY02 WRX PPP

No matter what goes in, on a daily commute and some weekend motorway I get between 240 & 260.

Leeds to London with wife driving - 214 miles = 1/2 tank used
London back to leeds with me driving 3/4 tank used.
Less traffic on the way down & a "bit" slower, but it looks like the heavy foot is the gas guzzler!

getting your other half to drive seems to improve fuel economy no end - best I've managed to acheive so far 311 on one tank (with a little bit to go) and that was a motorway trip.

Fiancee's been driving my scoob for last couple of days and trip counter is at 200 and it's still top side of half full!
