bogie Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Somehow just managed 32.2mpg in my MY07 WRX PPP Wagon. Noticed it yesterday coming back from Glasgow (after a wee visit to Willy @ Meercat for centre section ) the odo was heading towards 300miles and I still had just under a 1/4 tank left. I used to always get about 220ish per tank with average of about 22mpg but since having a longer journey in the mornings it went up to about 25 / 26 (on the odd occassion), but this was like Xmas! Who needs a diesel. I was going to challenge myself to get 300miles to a tank but it happened! This was still with some spirited but admittedly also some pussy driving. On the down side though, the ferkin NUL nozzle fell out the pump today when I was filling up with V-Power and twatted my car - BRAW! Who fixes dents!

Double Zero Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Most i have managed from a full tank is 190 miles but i didnt buy a scooby to worry about how many miles you get per gallon,i just enjoy driving it Stevie 01 WRX
st3ph3n Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I've seen just over 300 a couple of times on some motorway runs. I get more mileage now with the remap and more power.

bogie Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 I'm staggered! So was I, I didn't think it was possible! Mind you most of it was motorway. I did tell the other half the Meercat centre would make it better on petrol to passify her "what's the point" question, this looks good. Now...........wonder if she'll fall for a bigger turbo and remap with the same BS
terzo neil Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 i got 375 miles with no fuel light on and worked it out to 35mph on my recent trip to france
jamesm Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 i got 375 miles with no fuel light on and worked it out to 35mph on my recent trip to france You mean 35mpg Neil? Or is the secret to getting 375 miles out a tank travelling at 35 everywhere. The best I have done is 30mpg. That was on a long gentle run up north. Normally at around the 25mpg mark. The McRae run could be interesting. Long drive at 60mph, could get some surprisingly high mpg figures.
superstar_tradesman Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I normally get about 18 mpg, like stevie I didn't buy mine to worry about fuel economy.
bogie Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 I normally get about 18 mpg, like stevie I didn't buy mine to worry about fuel economy. Neither did I, but it still impressed me what a long shechty motorway journey can achieve.
