JDM STi MY03 - Fuel Consumption ?
hi all - just a quickie, but what consumption do you get out of your JDM STi's ?
In fact, what about UK specced STi's too ?
cheers,
simon.

things haven't improved over the 'older' models I see!
our my97 JDM STi v3 gets 220 - 240 miles on a tank... best ever is 320miles...ever ever ever.... only cos we were so low and so far from a shell... 55mph in an sti hurts... worse stil, a fellow impreza driver flew past us at around 80-90mph going south on the m23 one evening... never ever again I tell you !! LOL
but we can get that down to under 100....
Mikey
PS: a solution to the fuel thing... buy a different car if it worries you that much.. and keep the scoob for fun. these things don't really do fuel economy... it's just not their forté. They do nearly everything else stunningly well, just don't mention the fuel too much.
The poorest attribute of ownership is the fuel (and the image nowadays) but i went into it knowing single digit mpg was on the cards if I hoon it around, and mid 20's was more than likely the average.
So what? I don't care, I like the car too much to be bothered about the fuel... allthough I did slow down by about 10% when Optimax was £1.05 per litre lol

If you are concerened about mpg this is a different matter.

thanks guys - it was more a concern as to whether i was getting a very low mpg, as it's single figures if i keep it above 5000rpm for the back lane thrashes.
averaging 19/20mpg around town and mid 20's on a run.

I am now in the exact opposite position with my planet friendly diesel. Even with a light foot I would get only 250 miles out of a tank in my STI, but now I get 700 miles for the same £50. It doesn't have the wonderful engine that my old CTR had, but the 1500 miles I do every month costs me £200 less.

nope... the mpg may make folks think it's good for the environment, but they chuck out serious amounts of nasties too.... the diesel is, however, very pocket friendly in terms of fuel costs, espeicially in the circumstances you've quoted, way the right thing to do..some diesels can be fun too, what you driving now then?

Mikeyace, I now have a new Civic Diesel. Good car albeit not that exciting.
That must be a typo. You get through £250 of petrol every WEEK? That equals £13,000 per year on petrol. Tell me that isn't correct
