39 miles per gallon?!?!?!!!!!

Not bad huh?

:D

It's a little hard to believe...

F

Vaccuum hose blown off? Being towed?? Rolling down lots of hills??? :D

Andy

Motorway?

Turbo in the boot?

possibly mapped to run on diesel? :D

Right foot made of Helium ?

sail + strong tail wind?

Err.. I don't think they believe you :D

Lol 50mph all the way?

Im in the Impreziv Skoda and doing 90mph all the way up the M6 (Wasnt me ;)) got 31.5mpg and thats a 1.8 low pressure turbo.....

per gallon of " Jack Daniels" maybee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

42.8mpg - remapped VAG 1.8T

How? Mine can use petrol even when it's turned off!!

welcome back EK, bet the roads up there were amazing?

never heard of that sort of mpg before, well done, you must have fixed your exhaust then?

I get 220-240 miles out of £40 of optipish, bout 20-22 mpg.

I'm willing to take lessons from you if this is true..

I've never had better than 29.5, and that was taking is easy. Sure it's a turbo?

Was it on the PS2


or the x box:rolleyes::rolleyes::p


:D

I don't even get that much, & mine's a 1.8:(

Seriously though, I'd love to know how you did that...

WTF :eek:!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weava

I got 317 miles to a tank in my MY98 type R is that a record :D

376 out of a 03 WRX.......by my reckoning thats still only about 28 :(

Ya can't just post figures like that and then not tell us how you achieved them, I smell a rat here!
Have Subaru brought out a hybrid and failed to tell the masses?

LOL

Thanks peanuts! Yeah, had a great time, loads of ace roads to drive around!!!

Yes it's a turbo
No the turbo was not in the boot :rolleyes:
No i wasn't using deisel
No my right foot is not made of helium
No the vacuum hose has not blown off
No I was not being towed
No I was not using a sail
Went down a few hills but foot on the gas all the way
Wind wasn't that strong
No it was not on the PS2... Or Xbox
No i was not running on Jack Daniels..... 2/3 Opitmax 1/3 BP Ultimate

Peanuts: No, I haven't fixed my zorst :D

Yes it was on motorway

cruising at 70mph - 80mph most of the way over 360 odd miles!

And no I am not lying! I am dead serious, average fuel consupsion was 39Mpg, I though it was wrong and rechecked several times but had the same result, even got other people to calculate it and they came out with the same.

maybe it was a chemical reaction between the optimax and bp ultimate which created some kind of super fuel!

Before this week, my average has been:

Lots of hard driving: 14Mpg
fair bit of hard driving: 22mpg
driving nicely: 27Mpg

this was the first proper long journey i've done in the car and was quite suprised!


EK


Edited to add...

No it is not a hybrid
No I do not have a rat.... But my sunroof sometimes squeeks!

Yes that is a record daren but then aren't you an ol' git? ;) I got 260 once but it was running on fumes, most of my driving is urban though.

Well, after yesterday's 60K service I'd better get some good figures from now on. £540 including a new Lambda sensor.

Shat meself I did at that price.
