JDM STi MY03 - Fuel Consumption ?
 

hi all - just a quickie, but what consumption do you get out of your JDM STi's ?
In fact, what about UK specced STi's too ?

cheers,

simon.

Mine does about 18mpg in town, 25-30mpg on a run :)

Same as Tony

On the way down to dover, i got around 330 miles to a full tank, in france I only averaged about 180-240 miles, but I was driving with a heavy foot

JDM STi 03

about 220 to a tank.

MY03 JDM WRX STi

p.s. about 50 to the tank on track lol! :D

same as spen555 with a modded and mapped 04 jdm- i've never come near 330 from a tank:eek:

how big is a JDM STI fuel tank?

I have an STI PPP and average around 20mpg at an estimate.
Not a car green peace would be proud of but what the heck!

60 ltrs on a standard STI, 50 on a Spec C

Tony:)

Yeah, getting 300+ plus miles out of a tank on these things means you ain't driving it properly. You need to sell it and get a 1.0 litre saxo to drive round in :D

If you are even vaguely interested or concerned about the MPG of a Scoob, especially a JDM STi, then you can't afford to run one!

What a silly thing to say

things haven't improved over the 'older' models I see!

our my97 JDM STi v3 gets 220 - 240 miles on a tank... best ever is 320miles...ever ever ever.... only cos we were so low and so far from a shell... 55mph in an sti hurts... worse stil, a fellow impreza driver flew past us at around 80-90mph going south on the m23 one evening... never ever again I tell you !! LOL :D

but we can get that down to under 100.... :D

PS: a solution to the fuel thing... buy a different car if it worries you that much.. and keep the scoob for fun. these things don't really do fuel economy... it's just not their forté. They do nearly everything else stunningly well, just don't mention the fuel too much.

The poorest attribute of ownership is the fuel (and the image nowadays) but i went into it knowing single digit mpg was on the cards if I hoon it around, and mid 20's was more than likely the average.
So what? I don't care, I like the car too much to be bothered about the fuel... allthough I did slow down by about 10% when Optimax was £1.05 per litre lol ;)

I'm interested in my cars mpg (sti ppp) and for the record i can afford to run it.
If you are concerened about mpg this is a different matter.

Approx 200 miles to a full tank, mainly town driving, with some quick pull aways at lights!

JDM STi 03

im getting 24mpg outta my 400bhp 2002 sti 7 so that equates to roughly 317 miles on full tank, that is taking it easy though

50-60 PER TENNER !! DEPENDING ON LEAD FOOT !!:wonder:

thanks guys - it was more a concern as to whether i was getting a very low mpg, as it's single figures if i keep it above 5000rpm for the back lane thrashes.
averaging 19/20mpg around town and mid 20's on a run.

simon.

stupid question maybe, but what does MY actually stand for!! (not worth starting a thread for so asking here!!!)

MY = Model Year ;)

Off topic I know but are you the Lecht Rocks who posts on Singletrackworld - with a Cove Hustler??? I post on there occasionally under Bullet (also have a Hustler)

jeez. so so simple haha. Cheers, (sorry for the partial thread hi-jack)

Does it not take the edge off the fun of spirirted driving when you know that you're getting single digit mpg? Don't you look down at the fuel gauge after a quick blast and think about how much it has cost you? It always used to bother me even though I could afford the fuel.

I am now in the exact opposite position with my planet friendly diesel. Even with a light foot I would get only 250 miles out of a tank in my STI, but now I get 700 miles for the same £50. It doesn't have the wonderful engine that my old CTR had, but the 1500 miles I do every month costs me £200 less.

planet friendly diesel :) nope... the mpg may make folks think it's good for the environment, but they chuck out serious amounts of nasties too.... the diesel is, however, very pocket friendly in terms of fuel costs, espeicially in the circumstances you've quoted, way the right thing to do..
some diesels can be fun too, what you driving now then?

Mikey

wow... i can only get 210miles to a tank max...!!!

normaly 180miles a tank :eek:

03 STI JDM
Full HKS decat
remap @ powerstation

dude! You must be enjoying yourself every moment of every mile :D

Nice one... all on closed or private roads/tracks naturally ;)

I think ive lost count on threads about fuel consumption since ive been here:wonder:

Do we have to keep on being reminded of how bad our cars are on fuel economy? :cry:

I had only had the car a few days so was taking it steady, im only 18 I need some subaru experiance before I can molester the throttle! I drove down at a steady 60-80 mph all the way there, and it honestly got about 300 miles with around a 10th left of the fuel tank, so I estimate 330 miles!

my04sti remap about 180 miles to a tank usually fill it 5 times a week doesnt bother :luxhello:

Mikeyace, I now have a new Civic Diesel. Good car albeit not that exciting.

That must be a typo. You get through £250 of petrol every WEEK? That equals £13,000 per year on petrol. Tell me that isn't correct:eek2:
