285 miles a tank after full service! :)
Did a full service last weekend. Everything changed, used Silkolene oils in engine, box and diffs, Denso plugs, filters etc etc..
Had a bit of a motorway run with the AC on and some mixed "A & B" road driving.. Never seen more than 220miles before..
Not sure whats made the difference, but a huge thanks to the guys at Opie oils and my mate...Any boy does she rev again!

Sounds like these Scubes are quite economical 
I average 170 to 190 out of 12-13 gallons. Sometimes dropping down to 130miles
I did manage 225 once on the motorway
CAR: Mitzy Legnum VR4

One thing that really put me off buying a Scooby was all this talk of low MPG, on my first fill up I got 300 miles out of a tank full, averaging about 29mpg. We were expecting a lot lower than this!
