Hi All

What is the official MPG of a scooby around town and on a motorway run

Russ

dave-n-mand

official subaru figures....................diabolical!!! but you cant have everything!!

graeme.

Not exactly what you wanted, but more realistic, over 2005 my wrx MY2000:


Averaged just over 22mpg (round town),

Best was 25mpg (Motorway),

Worse 20mpg (any country road !!),

Furthest on a tankfull 290 miles,

and it cost me £90 more over the year to use Optimax than ordinary unleaded, a bargain I think you'll agree !



A bit sad, I know, keeping track of the above.

Cheers,
Graeme.

Which version/year?

Either way VERY driver dependent.

MY97 UK Official (according to 93/116/EEC standard (the old method - which is diffrent to measuremnet methods used on current models)):

Urban: 17.05mpg
Extra-Urban: 29.04mpg
Total: 23.06mpg

Real world MY97 UK:

I'm generally quite easy going and will average 24mpg...22mpg in town. 27mpg on the country A-roads and fast motorway, and can just tip 29mpg on a sedate motorway cruise.

I average 24 mpg on optimax.

on my classic 98 uk turbo i got 35mpg crusing up the motorway and getting less than 20mpg with general town/fun driving.

Should add mines on plain and simple 95Ron, from whatever garage I happen to be passing, but usually the Shell station at the bottom of my road

Still get 24mpg on optimax too

ndwall

My daily commute is 50 mile round trip and over the past weeks I've monitored it. Little blast long queue another blast some more queueing. Best so far this week 23.3mpg, 21 last week 20 week before this rate I'll match that Fiat Panda me boss has for a laugh

20.5MPG average to work and back, country lanes in my STi RA V-LTD MY99.

35mpg is achievable on a run.

28mpg around town.

Less than 20mpg and you are driving like a chav!!

Before remap:

best = 31mpg
ave = ~26mpg
worse = 17mpg

after remap:

best = 24mpg
ave = ~21mpg
worse = haven't dared calculate

Eckmcmann

so people who use their scoobs for track days are qualified as chavs?...

I thought after a remap it should be better when cruising as subaru run it rich to start with. I know it will use a lot more when giving it some but surely an optimised fuel map is more efficient when on the motorway?

I was getting 32 during 'run in' keeping the revs below 3K (ie no turbo spool up) ..don't see why that should be any different now with the ppp fitted..

You could drive wonderfully for 50 miles at 35mpg then boot it for 20 at 20mpg and you average would now be 26-27mpg...

Daz1121

I've got a MY00 T2000 get 23mpg around town and 30mpg on a motorway run. Most miles from a tank of Optimax has been 300.

Problem is, on the average (classic UK) scoob when cruising at 80mph=3000rpm...just where the Turbo wants to play.

So a very tiny movement of the throttle sends it from running in vacuum or 0bar, (nice and efficient) to running on boost (not efficient).

Therefore to keep efficiency is trying not to move the throttle once your up to speed and keep it off boost- hard work when a such a tiny movement can cause such a large increase in fueling.

pslewis

If you travel at the LEGAL 70 MPH then no such issue arises

If your getting anymore than 22mpg - YOUR WASTING THE CAR..!!!

-get a diesel...

pslewis

I reckon that, when buying a car, one question should be, "how many mpg do you get?"

If they say, "about 22mpg on a run"

Then you know to walk away!! Chav driver/owner or, at the very least, RoyBacer ............

If the answer comes back as, "38 on a run and never less than 28 around town"

Agree to buy the car on the phone STRAIGHT away!!!!!!

It's been looked after and driven properly!

AND you are probably ringing ME up - and my car is the most desirable on ScoobyNet!!!

Isn't it chaps and chapesses??

Pete

dpb

If you after the most mundane heap of junk on the forecourt,yes.!..

pslewis

Now, thats not nice .............. mine is a FINE example of how an Impreza should be bought, run-in, serviced, treated, driven and owned!!

Its a 5k japanese rice-rocket - no matter how you paint it..

They are NOT all the same .................... even you, Mr Stoooopid, should know that!!

There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on driving styles

GrahamG

i will be happy if i can average 24mpg.
