Is 60 miles around town good for £20 worth of v power

Really bad.
Mine did 98.5 miles off a £20 last week around town and that was bad compared to usual. £1.28.9 per litre.
My tyres PSI had dropped 4psi due to the cold weather, I usually manage well over 100 miles off £20.

I used to go to a mates which is 40-45 mile round trip and that would vaporise £20 if the camera vans weren't out

60 miles off £20 at £1.28.9 per litre is 17.58mpg. That's worryingly bad, even if I thrash my car I save fuel in coasting back down to speed.

98 miles off £20 is only 28.7mpg, it's pretty crap for a Newy WRX in general to be honest (but probably ok for urban mpg) and certainly damaged my ego.

When I first passed my test I'd block change into top gear straight away at about 15mph and floor it to the speed limit.
It took ages to get to the desired speed but I thought at the time I was saving money.

If you want good mpg you need to fit a boost gauge and pay attention to it, once you let it boost then your going to be using a lot of fuel, these aren't like normal cars where you rev it to 4/5k in every gear, you need to be keeping it under 3k if you want decent day to day economy.

Anything over 25mpg in an Impreza turbo means it's not being enjoyed, and you'd be better off in something dull and economical. A 1.9 Golf/A3 of the same age can be driven more quickly and with lower maintenance costs - and achieve double the mpg.
These cars were not designed to be driven off boost and sip fuel gently, except maybe with the exception of those 2.5 STIs
Enjoy your car sensibly and anything you get over 20mpg is a bonus.

If you want good mpg don't drive a ten year old performance car!

Can you honestly tell me a golf the same age (and I have had three) would be as reliable and not cost a fortune in repair bills. You can't just plug a fault code reader in a vag car, has to go somewhere that has vag com diagnostics to deal with that. Mate of mine has got a 1.9 Passat, it is newer than our scoob, and the dashboard is lit up like a Christmas tree. He changed the abs unit, but can't even bleed the brakes without getting it connected to vag com and have that tell the Ecu the unit has been changed, and to turn the fault light off.

I wouldn't have a modern diesel as they are crap and end up costing more in repairs than you save on fuel as well as the fact that diesel is more expensive as are the cars, false economy unless your going to do more than 100k in 3yrs and my days of doing that sort of milage are long gone thankfully.

Well I like to drive and have fun in my car when it's appropriate, I don't generally tear **** about the place during day to day driving, I tend to stick pretty close to the speed limit and don't see the point in spunking fuel if I'm only going to the shops, I save it for those times when I'm in the mood for a blast and go do the coast road or some other back roads where there's not many cars about or people trying to cross the road doing their shopping.

Oh I forget, that's right you drive a focus diesel, so that means diesels are the best cars in the world.
Give it a rest mate, your boring.
