Picked my car up on fri nite with £30 in it (1/2 tank) went to ikea in leeds on sat and by time got home had 1/4 tank left!. Went to Haws on sun and put £20 of Optimax in @ Nothalerton and went to scarboro now got 1/4 tank again! so almost £50 in 250m. As ive only had the car since fri is this good?!!

Thats about right - On a good long run, I can may be get 280 out of a tank, but if you check for previous posts on this subject you see people getting somewhere in the region of 150 miles per tank (when giving it some)

Its not good but sounds normal

Usually get 220 miles from a tank around town. If I do some motorway drivng then it goes up to 250-260 to a tank. I did, however, once take it past the magic 300 miles on a single tank. Didn't enjoy it though.

You'd better get used to it 'cos the fun just doesn't wear off.

*Sonic*

normal Motorway driving, anything between 320-370 miles on a full tank

round town driving, about 260 to a tank

Drives down to Santa Pod etc, 170 miles to a full tank

60 litres in a tank, usually I get about 50 litres back in

Sonic, on the motorway and around town do you actually use the accelerator?? 370 miles WTF on 50 litres

Well, you're obviously still a little scared of putting your foot down.

Don't worry, give it another couple of months and the fuel consumption will be down in the teens

*Sonic*

LOL

its only on the long motorway runs do i get close to 370 miles, basically stick to about 75-80mph all the way

Round town, i change gear around 3k rpm most of the time

drives to Santa Pod etc, erm rarely less than 5-6k rpm on the fast bits

Just wot i wanted to hear greasemonkey!!!

Harry_Boy

Yup, it's very good mate - well done! You're clearly getting into the spirit of Scooby ownership. The 'spirit' in question being Optimax, of course!

BlackScoobyWRX

You're doing real well if you're getting anything over 200 to a tank - can't remember the last time I did !!

catalunya199

i tend to average about 190-220 miles before the quarter line where i fill her up again

greasemonkey

Had mum in car earlier. Went a whole hour on the road without seeing the AFR meter light up. Mind you, fuel gauge didn't move either, so there's a lesson there somewhere

ozzy

I'm with Sonic. Daily 20-mile motorway cruise to/from work will see at least 330 miles out a tank and that includes a couple of good blasts on the way home.

If I ever get just 200 miles out a tank I'd be looking for a hole in the tank FFS.

Stefan

PS Mines a RB5 running std boost and just a decat.

*Sonic*

Usually on a motorway cruise, I will see 200 miles upto the half way mark

If i manage that I will give it a little stick for the last half the tank

Lang

I regularly get around the 300 mile mark on a tank. It is however, normally long runs at a sensible speed.

Mines a standard MY97 wagon

MrDBM

just got 364 miles from 47 litres of fuel - that's about 35mpg I reckon...

I'll get my coat.

just to say that was *all* motorway driving at steady speeds...

flat4

had mine down to 12mpg once was fun though

You all going soft, what do you do, disconnect the actuator from the wastegate??

I occassionaly get 300 on very gentle driving, but never ever in 3 scoobs gone above 330 (and that was because the MAF was jigged). I do loads of motorway miles too.

Recently had a couple of 10mpg tank fulls

Most times its around 260 miles that i get and usually takes between 55 and 59 litres to fill!

I recently returned from cornwall and having recently bought my Scooby (standard '99 wagon apart from Magnex cat back and ITG air filter) was interested in the fuel consumption.
Driving style: 95mph with occasional bursts to 110-120 and down to 56-60 in places
Distance covered: 245 miles Bodmin to Sutton Coldfield
Fuel used: 7.9 gallons
Fuel Consumption: 31mpg approx

This is about what I would have expectded from my Saab 9-3 which was a horrible vehicle and had to go. I'm so glad it did

Buzzer

I regularly get 30 mpg out of MY02 WRX. This is combined cycle.

I've also had 18 mpg when having fun

So therefore FUN = Approx. £1.40 Gallon

STI PPP + Mods

booting it around 8.5 miles to the gallon

Taking it easy around 16 mpg

Tony_W

I have an MY02.

Over the last 15,000 miles it's averaged just under 25 MPG.

Best was 31..

Worst was 20MPG this weekend, on the A9 The good thing about this though is that the GPG (Grins Per Gallon) or Smiles Per Gallon are always reciprocal to MPG

Can't beat the feeling of a Scooby + extra boost, getting past a line of cars that can't be bothered to pass a wagon (& don't leave any gaps for those that do want to/are able to pass)

How many litres is a gallon?

Neilo

I usually get 310 from a tank with a fair few trips near the red line, technically speaking, if you trust the combined MPG in the brochures then its possible to get just over 400. most iver ever had from a tank is 345 though.......

Neilo

16v, what model are you talking about??? if its the MY03 like mine then we have 60 litre tanks......these other boys dont...hence theyre low mileage.....

Neil

Mobydick

UK gallon equals to 4,546 liters

Buzzer

Moby

**** me over 4000 ltrs per gallon LOL

4.546099295 ltrs per gallon

Not to be confused with our colonial cousins out there who get 3.785411784 ltrs per gallon US

Sorry for sounding a ****

( R6 CDW )

The longest tank of fuel iv had was about two weeks, 10 days of that i was away on holiday!
