Wow, 24mpg!
I know, shouldn't really get excited over something like this, but I do usually get 20-21 mpg!
But my goodness, did I have to drive like a granny or what!
Hopefully, in the summer, a few more mpg should be possible.
I don't really care what mpg i do get, was just curious to see how far I could stretch a tank.

24-25mpg is normal for my Forester, best of a fraction over 30 on a 90mph run to Paris and back....BCS circuit blocked though so I only had basic actuator boost!

As long as I am not stuck in town I expect 25. something when in a hurry and a high 26 or even better when keeping approximately to national speed limits on the open road.

23-28mpg from a UK Turbo 2000 taking the revs above 3000rpm a fair bit of the time. I just can't help it as it's what the car was made for.

Some people getting near 30mpg are not driving their Scoobs correctly, I don't go wild but the best I have ever had was 22mpg, I doub't I'd ever see over 25mpg.
