Was in Germany and did just over 1200 miles of driving (mostly on Autobahns) with lots of "smile miles" and got an average of 18 MPG using SUL. Did one tank at nothing more than 100mph and got 24 MPG.
Edited to say its an MY02 STi with about 8000 miles on the clock

I know Scoobys are juicy but can this be right?
£40 of shell optimax thats 50.70 litres. Only 226 miles,normal driving with occasional blast.
Before buying the scooby(MY96 WRX standard) i owend a Saphire cossie 320bhp,green injectors etc etc it was far more economical.
This is just a question not a moan,as i am well impressed with the scooby and intend on a few mods,just wondering if i need to re-mortgage to run it??

Hey Waggy,you know you are going to use more fuel cruising up & down Southend front. 
Fuel consumption is proportional to the amount of sea air & donuts you absorb.
Good to CU & your m8 in the cossie.Next time.

Me thinks you are getting 20.25mpg which sounds about right. You will find a lot of people here who don't even see 20mpg. I generally get 21-22mpg, but only since i started using SUL. When i was using normal unleaded i would only see 18-19mpg.

Jen's a bird, so car is a he
If the owner was male then the car would be a she
Geddit ?
you love and care for your car like it's your other half.
so naturally it's of the opposite sex.
Unless of course your "batting for the other side"
