Is that good?

I reckon it is, as I usually get around the bad side of 250 miles. The 300 miles was a lot of motorway driving, and when not stuck in jams I wasn't going over a tun too much.

So it's a 98 wagon (turbo) - what's the capacity in gallons? I reckon I must be knocking on 30mpg????

300 miles to a tank??
Can do that in the Misses' Megane - never done it in my Scoob !!

Done a 340 before on a long motorway stint.

Youve got an injector blocked.

Get it looked at.

Classic Impreza normal town/work is about 220 miles but motorway is over 300

Ok so I drive a sport but I get 330 to a tank, averaging 35 - 38 to the gallon at the mo.

Not impossible

Have done 33.5mpg (375 indic) before

Last week done 31.8 on a trip down to Bristol but on the way back it was 28mpg 'cos it was Friday night & a bit late

Andrewj

MY99 Turbo. Regularly get 300 from a tank full.

Best ever was 360...I was sweating for the last few miles though!

MrDBM

Mr DBM get to the dealers quick !
Your MAF's f**ked, and running lean will blow the engine !

The only way I'll ever get 300 from a tank is if it breaks down and I get left home via the AA!!

I'm getting about 150-170 miles from £35 worth of petrol

chiark

Yep, that's normal. I regularly got 320 miles from the MY00... Brim it with optimax, run down to Milton Keynes (motorway all way, normal British cruising speeds ) and run back on a tank...

The 03 appears even better on the m'way mileage.

If anyone gets less than 30 on a motorway run out of an 03 WRX, I would not want to be in the car with them!

The STI is notably worse. Even running in it only managed 26 mpg on the motorway...

tmo

MY00, de-cat, induction kit, running on Optimax / super UL, just spent the last two days piling up and down the M1 average MPG - 31.3
More than happy with that.

My scooby never sees a tank full

StickyMicky

i managed 220 miles last week and when i filled it up this morning i could only get 45 litres in, the pump clicked off 3 times lol

AllanB

How on earth do you get over 240 miles out of a tank. I can just about get form London to Bournemouth on a tank and thats driving slow.

I often get about 150 miles from a tank

AllanB

StickyMicky

when u fill up how much do u actualy put into the tank?

ive went to the very end of the final notch on the fuel guage and still got about 8 litres in

NotoriousREV

I usually get 210 - 230 miles out of a tank and a normal fill-up is about 40 - 45 litres. Equates to about 21 - 23mpg (?). That was when I was doing a lot of motorway work, now it's mainly local stuff and I know get about 180 miles to a tank

Scooby96

StickyMicky - turn the nozzle 90 degrees and it stops all that clicking

StickyMicky

i thought it was clicking becuase it was filled right upto the filler neck? lol

one of the 1st things i ever did to my car was to remove that daft SVA filler neck restriction thingy
i could never get any fuel in without the pump shutting off :s

EscortRS

Do you lot have a fuel computer in ya scoobs? or are you just working it out?

Cheers

chrisp

Fill up, reset trip counter, run around, fill up agia n and look at trip.

You know how many miles you have covered and you know how much fuel you have used easy calculation for mpg. (4.54 litres to gallon)

floppy dave

Quick question for Sticky Mickey - How did you remove the restrictor thingymebob ?
I'm getting sick of looking like I don't know how to fill a car up !

I always tend to get around 230 miles, with about 8-10 litres left. This equates to 20-21 mpg.......

360 miles out of a Scooby with a 60 litre tank, you'd have to average around 31-32 mpg?????? (assuming you used 52 litres approx)

Is this possible in a Scooby??

If you run car till lights constantly on, this should leave around 10 litres approx, so if you done the following distances, the mpg you would get are as follows.

200 miles - 18 mpg

240 miles - 22 mpg

260 miles - 24 mpg

300 miles - 27 mpg

340 miles - 31 mpg

If you get more than 22-24 mpg, you may as well change your car, cos these cars weren't designed to get that kinda fuel consumption!

bazzar

I have never had less than 300 miles from a tank of optimax from my 03 wrx, no matter how hard i drive it

I think you should all get rid of your shagged classics and horrid bugeyes buy an 03 more power more mpg more efficient
