You must have a lead foot then as I get between 270-300 from my new age and thats from a mixture of different roads and traffic flow.......

After picking my type r up from buying I travelled pretty much exactly 200 miles on my way home, sitting at a steady 70 mph all the way (apart from the occasional blast! ) and it used just over half a tank! I was well happy! Probably never see that again tho!

I've yet to see over 220 in MY07 STi.

Would be nice to see a bit more but at the end of the day I didn't buy the car to save on fuel bills.

I once tried for 400 on a long journey with mine, got to 340ish before getting to bored to continue at 60. I'm sure it could have been done with more patients.

UK Classics had 60 litre tanks, I believe JDM's had 40 litre tanks.

I can regularly get 350 out of a tank of Tesco 99. Thats 75% motorway cruising and driving real steady.

Don't know what all the fuss is about. Regularly get high 20's mpg in normal conditions and that's with the remap. Seems bad but when you actually sit and think about it like this scoobies aren't as bad as they seem.

Set the trip meter with each full tank



5t.

I always set my trip meter and im always surprised by how much I actually get to a full tank.
I used to have an RX7 (FD) and if I was lucky I would get 180 miles to 60 litres, and that was when I didnt boot it!! If I booted it then I was lucky to see 120 miles.
So scoobies are actually quite good on fuel for the performance that you get in return.
