As i was told they can get into single figures,i would assume that to be a modded one.My 300+ BHP cossy runs the dark green injectors but does manage okay fuel economy.
Just interested.

I get about 150 Miles tops on £30 of Optimax + Millers. After working it out roughly, I get about 18 to the gallon on a good run.

Depends on the car & where it is being used: in city driving I was around 10 last week, normally 15-18 with SUL & Otane Booster - MY00 Turbo in mixed conditions

Really must depend on the car. I have a MY99 - no mods and running on NUL. Daily driving is on the motorway but with regular blasts down back roads.

I always seem to get between 25-28mpg.

If you can afford the car then you can afford the fuel and the insurance.If you are worried about fuel economy then buy a nice little diesel runabout.

Fuel economy does not make a car and frankly who gives a **** the things there to enjoy be it scooby , evo, cossie, lotus, m3..............

I've got a MY99 Impreza Turbo and I normally get around 25-28 mpg on an average tank which involves various driving styles (ie: urban, a quick blast, motorway, etc.). If you boot it though you can literally see the needle drop. The most I've got out of a tank is just over 400 miles when the red light came on - this was driving down to Croatia in August at a steady 90-100mph ... was very impressed!!!

Used almost 3/4 of a tank to go to Cardiff from London in about 2 1/2 hours (147 miles). Ouch

Fuel - it loves the bloody stuff and those smiles don't come cheap!!! (STI V)
