Default Car Model / Usage / Monthly Fuel Costs / MPG

I was just sifting through my recent fuel receipts as I declare and claim my business mileage.

Then thought it might be interesting to see what others are doing?




2008 Hatch STI (circa 360+bhp) / 50% pleasure 50% Business / Generally average £200 pm, recently closer to £300-£350 / Average 30mpg on a long run, 25mpg urban.

Considering buying a second car, I'll do some math first as I only average around 8k miles per year combined....

Robert.

Interesting figures Robert, I have been using my 08' STI hatch (stock) and according to the computer been doing between 28-29mpg combined with a 34-35mpg long motorway journey. Generally get 320-330miles per tank on VPower.

This coming from late 30's in an MG TF I was actually quite happy. Havent got official figures, but be interested to see what everyone else is doing. So:

2008 Hatch STI (stock) / 50% pleasure 50% commute / Generally between £200-300 per month / Average 34/35mpg on a long long run, 28/29mpg combined.

The wrx wagon ppp 246/270 does around 30 mpg.

2.5 fully forged bug sti does around 22 mpg.

Norris spec Evo does around 18-20 mpg.

The 2008 hatch sti I had before the bug was returning 25-30 mpg, I did see 33 mpg when doing motorway miles. It was running 361/400.

According to the fuel app I use, since May 2015 my blob PPP wagon has done an average of about 500 miles a month, 27.4 mpg and costs me about £100 a month in fuel. I use it once a week for commuting, plus long trips. Max efficiency ever was 32 mpg, min was 10 mpg (at Silverstone)
