Whats your MPG???
#1
I finally decided to figure out what my MPG is for my car last night and was rather shocked to find out how abismle mine was...
I filled her to the brim, im now on the quarter tank (well, the last big mark on a classic) and the odometer has given me 150 miles...
than equates to 15ish MPG!!!!
min you, i was avareging 120ish for about 30-45 mins!!

classic WRX with sensible mods (about 280-300).
I knew it was juicy, but emptying half a tank in half hour felt a bit much...
sort of concludes my reasoning for selling it, as much as i love the car its not practical enough for me!!

i was hoping my 30pounds worth of optimax had been syphened by someone lol, it looks like i was wrong, half a tank gone and i have only done 30miles around town, but i guess when its a new toy you have to show all your mates how fast it goes oh well i thought the v5 was bad, i guess this is the same, like my bro says, you can pay 14k for a car and then complain about the cost of running it!

MY03 STi, lots of motorway work.
Worst to date is 17.03mpg, best is 23.04. Tracking it closely out of ****-retentive interest - email me if you want a copy of the spreadsheet.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Standard UK spec MY02 WRX wagon. About 250 miles on a tank - well at least before the low fuel light comes on and my bottle goes.....

I used to get a standard 20mpg in my 2000 X uk spec
I was getting a steady 27mpg out of my 1999 V WRX...
...but this was probably due to it running lean & explains why the engine went BANG.
I quick warning to anyone who is getting good MPG, get your MAF sensor checked to make sure your not running too lean...
...The lower MPG will be cheaper than a new engine

Dont whinge lads!!
Horsepower = crap fuel economy
Horsepower = big fun grins!
No Horsepower = good fuel economy
No Horsepower = buy a Polo and wear a hat
My PPP'ed 03 STi is grim but its better than my previous ride, a chevy cobra that i had down to 5mpg!!
Wouldnt que up at the Optimax pump with anything else now!!

Autosportif tell me the car has 380bhp/385f/lb torque.
Just got 13.4mpg on the last test although that was being driven hard 75% of the time and with a couple of minutes worth of anti-lag
My RX7, driven hard 50% of the time would do 8.6mpg.
My stage 1 (400bhp) Skyline GTR's would average 15-20mpg.
My 615bhp Skyline is not worth even thinking about - ITS BAD.
My old Integra Type R DC2 - would do 25-30mpg the WHOLE TIME!! how good is that!
