Default MPG ?

Hey chaps

what sort of MPG should i be expecting for average use and driving at a sensible pace (not ragging it), i guess if its kicking out massive HP then it will do less but just after a ruff idea..

cheers

we have a Land Rover Discovery but looks like we have just killed the engine just waiting for garage to confirm and we dont want to spend 4.5k on a new short block so have pretty much decided to sell it as or break it, and in the meantime spend the 4-5k on a scooby. much more sensible car

This must be a (welcome) first for SN! An mpg thread not greeted with the old......'if you have to ask that then an Impreza is not the car for you'

Nice one

BTW: Stretched to 30 mpg on a motorway run, generally about 20 mpg (lots of short runs). Blob STi PPP mapped to about 340 bhp
