Hi guys

I'm considering buying a scooby! Looking at a STI PPP or WRX PPP.

However fuel economy maybe a stumbling block.

I have a 20 mile daily journey to work, and the same home. So 40 mile trip daily thus 200 miles per week.

12 miles of my journey is M6 - usually free flowing roads, then a 8-10 mile drive along a dual carriage way with a 50limit along most of it, but 70 for the last couple of miles.

Can anybody tell me what they get mpg wise?

 

prob around 230 miles to a full tank.

 

well mine cripples my financial plan, i think you'll need deep pockets to use a scoob as a daily commute over that distance,

 

And is it a 40litre tank? (If only I wish) I assume it is a 60 litre.

 

Budget for a fresh tank of fuel every week and you're about there.

 

you shouldnt be buying a scoob if you worry about tax, insurance or mpg!

wrx with ppp average 30 mpg driven carefully
STI 24 mpg

I do a similar commute (probably a bit further!). 310 miles to tank. 60 liters. wrx with ppp

 

I'm surprised a WRX gets up to 30 mpg

 

I get about 200-220 in a 05 STI PPP. I have seen 270 taking it easy on a motorway.

 

You must have the most fuel efficient scooby ever made to return 30mpg

 

I never got 300mpt when my car was a WRX, even when it was mapped. 250 was about average. I didn't start getting 300mpt until i'd swapped the engine out for a v8 STi. Now i get around 350-360bhp and it will do 300mpt on a run no probs, and that's with a car load at c.80mph.

However, as has been said if you are worried about fuel etc....it's not the right car for you.

 

i do 40 mile trip a day to work mostley motorway and duel carriageway i get 30 mpg taking it easy wrx no ppp though

 

hmmmm £75 to get to work every week for me then

New job time.....

 

it costs me 40 pounds per week max

 

I'm paying more than £40 a week in my MG ZS 120bhp car at the mo, so seriously I cannot get my head round that.

 

I'm running 340bhp and driving quickly i get around 340 per tank
drive carefully and i can get over 400
when i go for it i don't care

 

if i drive my car like i stole it it would cost more i take it easy and off boost to get that figure do the same commute in the wifes 12oo cc fiesta the fiesta does it in 35quid a week the scoob 40

 

The range of answers really hasn't helped lol

 

I average 22 mpg, 14-16 mpg going cross the B roads, and 6 mpg on track...

Do I care, not once it starts to pull...

dunx

P.S. Buy a diesel, and the money you save will go in a "scooby jar"...

 

you will be using a full tank every week -- and they have a 60ltr tank

 

ppp drinks fuel like its running out, ppp map just basicly ups the boost slighlty and throws fuel at it to compensate. you'll prob get more reasonable mpg getting it ecutek'd

 

340 miles out of a tank...... that is the biggest load of shizzle i have ever heard!

any turbo scoob i can assure you will never do 340 miles to a tank.

scoobynet is across the board pretty good for sourcing information and tech knowledge for al of you out there with scooby related questions...

but they are the few people on here that are just plain idiots

its a 60 litre tank and will do around 200 general driving.

in my case i get about 180.... buy urself a little run about is my advice and tune the b-jesus out of the scoob!

 

My mate at work has an Evo X 360.

Want to beat him....... lol

 

i think i will prob get near that in mine, keeping it off boost (its very hard to do cos its oooo so tempting lol) then i managed to get to bristol on £20 (160 miles) so wouldn't be unthinkable to get that.

 

Well it just goes to show what little you know
maybe you should look at you driving
i have done 30.000 in my car and not been below 300 miles on a tank
normal driving i get 340 plus that is driving on mixed roads and not being overtaken, before miss Daisy raises her head

 

i used to have a 05 plate 2.ltr wrx with ppp around 250 ish bhp and it would do about 250/260 to a tank mainly round town in traffic with a little play - now got a 2.5 ltr sti type uk with ppp around 320 bhp and get about 220 round town with little play now and again

 

At 340 bhp I could manage 300+ to a tank full, but now I can't get close...

dunx

 

Wrong car to buy if fuel consumption is a concern and the way fuel prices are rising plus the vat increase not far away.Just buy it and enjoy.

 

300 to tank for 07 WRX ppp if driven like a girl.

4 scoobydoo, please change your avatar, its making me feel sick

anyone who tries to get MPG out of an impreza is kidding themselves.

I know quite a bit mate to be fair just cause your a douche who drives like *** boy and comes on here acting like a big man ohhh look how many miles i get never under 300.."maybe you should look at your driving"...errmm maybe you could trouble me for a warm glass of shut the hell up!!lol.. ive never seen 300 miles in the 8 years ive been driving them? then again im normal and drive my car the way it should be drove.

that is all

 

Raging about fuel consumption - whatever next
