My mate is getting 19mpg from his and he drives like a pansy everywhere! This doesnt sound right to me! Anybody any thoughts or is this normal?

 

too funny i was just thinking about the same thing and read a few threads on here. Its about right. I worked mine out last night for a blobeye sti and it was 19 too but it is driven hard!

 

Do you think it could just be the prodrive map then? Im sure someone in the know how will be able to tell us!

 

I had one of these and yup that's what I was getting..could swear even when I driving it 5 mins down the road you could see the fuel gauge drop!
Painful, but loved the car.
Could be to do with the mapping ..mine did smell as if it was running rich , and MOT time the garage had to do some serious tweeking to get past emissions.

 

sounds about right. Dont forget if the roads also dictate the MPG, guess theres alot of roundabouts and traffic lights and hill around his way

 

"The Old Beast" was a 2002 STI; "The Beast" is my 2007 STI.

The '02 was averaged over about 1 year. The '07 over 4 months.

Driving style: Moderate.

I've found the greatest impact is from green light launches. Avoid these and economy picks up - obvious - i know - but makes a considerable difference.

 

Probably about right. Should be able to get nearer 30mpg on motorway run at steady 70mph although it is dull.

 

You got stay off boost I know it's hard but when your on boost it's when taps really open or get your car mapped it improves mpg off boost driving

 

Thats why i didnt think it sounded right because he atchually does drive off boost 95% of the time. Dual carriage way most of the way to and from work and plods at 70!

 

i have a o2 sti ppp but can get about 22mpg frowning along but 14ish with a big grin on me face the ppp map is rich on the fuel for sure

 

sorry to but in guys but what bar does your ppp boost at i set my defi gauges to beep at 1.3 bar and there just beeping is that about right 1.3bar mines a blob sti ppp.

 

i think thats about right my bug sti ppp does hit 1.4bar peak tailing to 1.3bar

 

Geds. What's that ap you got for the MPG???

 

Mine was PPP now tek3 (330bhp) I only do a 16mile round trip everyday through a town n some b-roads (really bad for mpg) I don't hang about n average 16-17mpg

 

Its called "Road Trip" by Darren Stone. There's a try before you buy lite version, and the full version is £2.99. It's great for tracking all vehicle costs.

 

Thanks M8

 

I used to reckon that its was on average 50 miles to £10 of SUL

That was on an 02 & and 05 STI PPP

Just bought a 330S - so don't know what that'll be doing yet

 

250-300miles to a tank? noway lol offboost motorway only maybe

 

23 mpg acting my age...

16 acting the fool

6 on track....

dunx

P.S. 02 STI JGM'd.

 

i am the so called "pansy like driver" (cheers Oli) and have just averaged 27mpg keeping it below 3k revs at all times. It seems my right foot is heavier than i realised with my usual 19mpg, most boring 200+ miles i have covered but proves poor mpg is down to my driving rather than any issues with car

cheers

Ste

 

i get around 250miles to a tank on my bugeye sti and less if in boost

 

In the interest of this thread I drove to Tarifa and back keeping below 3000 revs, I could still get up to 80 on the autopista but it nearly killed me on the mountain B roads to plod, it felt very wrong indeed... however I did get 350 miles which I think is 22 mpg.
My conclusions are that you might as well rag the hell out of it everywhere and have fun because you aint gonna save much juice by going slow!
