Default Sti Miles on full tank

Hi all, just wondering how many miles people get out of a full tank on a Sti, I just did a 4 hour drive coving 300 miles with about 30 miles left in the tank!

I struggle to get more than 200 out of my 2005 STI, on a "enthusiastic tank" it's normally about 160...

Yeah sounds about right.
Got a hawkeye sti get about 250 if i was to run it dry, usually fill up after 220-230 or so.
Always scared to go any further in case I can't find any v-power in time!

I wish I could be getting 330!!!

Only the tesco garages at the supermarkets sell it by me as the small tesco express garages only sell premium which I think is 97

300 divided by 4 hours = 75 miles an hour average. To actually achieve that you would have been driving faster for some of that time to make up for the time you were driving slower. 300 miles at speed and only one tank of fuel is great!


I drive like I have Miss Daisy in the back for most of my daily driving and I fill up before I get 300.
