I finally decided to figure out what my MPG is for my car last night and was rather shocked to find out how abismle mine was...
I filled her to the brim, im now on the quarter tank (well, the last big mark on a classic) and the odometer has given me 150 miles... than equates to 15ish MPG!!!! min you, i was avareging 120ish for about 30-45 mins!! |
What car do you have ?
I drive MY03 WRX wagon ... average 25 mpg :( £30 Optimax does average 210/220 miles . |
5 to 14mpg depending on how hard I drive it.
Emptied a full tank in 40 mins once.. |
classic WRX with sensible mods (about 280-300).
I knew it was juicy, but emptying half a tank in half hour felt a bit much... sort of concludes my reasoning for selling it, as much as i love the car its not practical enough for me!! |
MPG - 99MY UK - 24mpg over 25,000m and 8 months (215bhp Impreza)
- 02MY UK - 30mpg over 12,000m and 7 months (220bhp Octy4x4) (John want practical, economical, quick and still a 4x4 Turbo?) |
MY01 Bugeye , did loads of checks and the average was
22.4 mpg with air con on , 24.7 mpg with it off |
WRX MY96
Normally 23-25 mpg. Can get up to 28 mpg on a motorway run - 4000 rpm. Track day 7-8 mpg! :eek: :eek: |
i was hoping my 30pounds worth of optimax had been syphened by someone lol, it looks like i was wrong, half a tank gone and i have only done 30miles around town, but i guess when its a new toy you have to show all your mates how fast it goes :) oh well i thought the v5 was bad, i guess this is the same, like my bro says, you can pay 14k for a car and then complain about the cost of running it!
|
i am forced to drive at 2.5k revs max for this week so im hoeping to atctualy crack the 300 miles/tank barrier
just above 3/4 tank on the guage at the moment and sitting on about 55/60 miles |
MY03 STi, lots of motorway work.
Worst to date is 17.03mpg, best is 23.04. Tracking it closely out of anal-retentive interest - email me if you want a copy of the spreadsheet. Cheers, Jeremy |
MY99 Classic Turbo. 28 ish, with not too much thrashing. Like you, this, and servicing intervals and costs are forcing me to re-think. But what do you change it for?
|
26 mpg ,always seems to average this , mind you I don't do town driving as I live 'In the sticks'(Standard MY99 turbo)

my 1993 import wrx manages 150 miles on a tank!!!
Its just too tempting to boot it when you live near alot of straigh by pass !!!! |
Standard UK spec MY02 WRX wagon. About 250 miles on a tank - well at least before the low fuel light comes on and my bottle goes..... :(
|
765 miles from 50 litres of diesel, bit of topic but I could not resist lol
|
25ish doesnt bother me tho! :D
|
My STI 7 is awful I reckon. Filled to the brim about £38 it'll only go about 200'ish until lights nearly on. Worst yet is 185, best is 225. Cr*p in my opinion.
|
I used to get a standard 20mpg in my 2000 X uk spec
I was getting a steady 27mpg :D out of my 1999 V WRX... ...but this was probably due to it running lean & explains why the engine went BANG. :( I quick warning to anyone who is getting good MPG, get your MAF sensor checked to make sure your not running too lean... ...The lower MPG will be cheaper than a new engine ;) |
19 around town and 30 on mway!
|
Dont whinge lads!!
Horsepower = crap fuel economy Horsepower = big fun grins! No Horsepower = good fuel economy No Horsepower = buy a Polo and wear a hat My PPP'ed 03 STi is grim but its better than my previous ride, a chevy cobra that i had down to 5mpg!! Wouldnt que up at the Optimax pump with anything else now!! |
17.5 normally, a little more on a run.
Its not a scoob though ;) |
Autosportif tell me the car has 380bhp/385f/lb torque.
Just got 13.4mpg on the last test although that was being driven hard 75% of the time and with a couple of minutes worth of anti-lag :D My RX7, driven hard 50% of the time would do 8.6mpg. My stage 1 (400bhp) Skyline GTR's would average 15-20mpg. My 615bhp Skyline is not worth even thinking about - ITS BAD. My old Integra Type R DC2 - would do 25-30mpg the WHOLE TIME!! how good is that! |
