hello everyone.
new to site as i've just bought my first scooby, an old school wrx import. i absolutely love it. slight step up from a heavily modded r5 turbo i've grown out of!
bit concerned of fuel consumption tho, how much u all get to a tenner, roughly??
thanks, H

hi there ,helen-lucy.hope your having loads of fun!!!.as for fuel consumption.....well .....errrrr......how do i put this???.ive got a p1 and normal daily driving,i can get about 15 too the gallon.and about 8-10 on rocket mode.all being said ,the driving really makes up for it.....
anyway ,have fun ,and just enjoy. pete.

helen-lucy

think mines poorly, i'm not getting that and its supposed to be standard. think i've seen u about in york. seen u a few times at melbourne also.
any suggestions on what i can checjk or look into to see whats up

helen-lucy

hi pete. i am enjoying it but didnt plan on spending this much on petrol. put£20 2 days ago and 86 miles. saying that i think my speedo is out. might have to sell if cant make it a bit better

What fuel are you using and how are you driving it?

Scooby_Dee

Is it possible that because the car is new you're putting your foot down a bit more and therefore using more fuel?

If you're worried about the petrol consumption you may as well sell it now

pete P1

true,helen lucy ,if your driving it quite hard that sort of fuel figures not that bad unfortunatly.if not ,maybe a sensor failing,ie mass air flow.best just to have a garage carry out a diagnostics check ,just to be on safe side.should cost around £40.00 to scan. hope all goes well for you anyway ,pete.

sounds about right to me?

£35 to fill it up, and getting about 160 - 180 miles ish?

presume your using optimax/super unleaded?

p.s.

Sorry to say this but don't evan bother putin a tenner in you will be at the garage more than at home

When first got my uk MY99 i would struggle to get 20 mpg. I then started using Super unleaded (SN advice ) and would then average 23mpg. I have since de-catted and had a remap (260bhp ish) and average 22mpg. TBH i can't see you getting any better than that withan import

Little Miss WRX

Welcome to Scoobynet. I had an old school import WRX also. Fuel consumption wise I used to just fill the tank and hope I got over 100 miles.

Not that my foot was made of lead or anything........I was just enthusiastic at getting up to the speed limit.

pappasmurf

hi.....your figures work out at about 15mpg. Not bad with a heavy right foot on an import. Make sure you use the correct fuel...very important. Optimax.
I have a modded UK and get a maximum of about 22mpg.

Last two fill ups have been 21mpg and no town stuff only long distance stuff

helen-lucy

hi everyone. thanks for the nice welcome. think i'm gonna need a bank loan to keep the beast on the road!!! i love it tho, its awesome to drive.

marc-i'm using optimax and havent been that heavy footed with her to be fair. its an easy car to just cruise in.
