May Have To Sell Already

[Beith Team]

Bought ma scooby a couple of month back and while looking through my bank statement since the 5 th of april I have put £150 in the tank. WTF ? Its a weekend car. the only runs it gets is from beith to paisley or largs. Cant justify the crazy amounts of money gettin thrown away. What kind of money and miles are you guys clocking up?

Oh i should also mention Im driving it like an old lady aswell .

Why did you buy the car if you cant handle the fuel? Impreza are thirsty cars at the best of times, depending on how you drive obviously

[ciaranrb5]

Yes i spent £3000 last year on fuel. Thats why i have bought a run about

Mate u must have a nice pay poke if you can afford £583.04 a month for fuel. I knew they were thirsty but holy moly. I even checked ther were no holes in the tank

[Richie Cross]

I feel your pain mate. I think I've also had the 'is there a

hole in my tank' feeling!!!

I might get an average of 250 miles to a tank and

can spend £200-£300 on fuel a month

[G.Mac]

Yea I know how you feel, I once spent over £300 in a weekend in fuel when V power was still about 85p per liter(what a weekend!!!! ) and am now in the process of making it even less efficient

I now have a diesel DisAstra Van as my daily runner though

lol there is a big hole in the tank & it costs £1.29 per litre for the pleasure of filling it up

Doesn't help with the fuel prices tho

Has the car been mapped?

Now that is class, i promise if you can get a group buy on V Power petrol for under a £1 i will fill your tank.

lol that was good

[tomwrx08]

yip there dam thirsty motors but hey ho u only live once,

i get around 200ish around town or 300 ish on motorway ,

[wrxmania]

I use mine daily for everything - it will rack up at least 15k a year...so that's quite a lot in fuel - on the plus side the reliability offsets the fuel costs.

Not massively worse than many other cars really if driven normally...

I budget at least £240 per month on fuel and i use every penny.

My scoob is my daily runner.

[terzo neil]

i dont worry about fuel as got 2 of the buggers to fill

[4Hero]

I was about 250 a month with the sti, the new car isn't much better (and it's only 2wd )

[x444wrx]

I thought I was doing really well today I manged 146 miles for just over half a tank to knockhill!!! NO PAIN NO GAIN who cares about the cash I like to burn mine on fuel, others like to pi*s it up a wall at the weekend, others on holidays, but i'll tell you something none of the other cash costing activities put a grin on yer face like driving a scooby..........you'll regret it if you sell it bud

[Midnight21]

Me too and drive the one which has the most fuel at the time

[scooby222]

the last year i ran an impreza as my daily driver i did 25k miles plus and i worked out it cost me over £7500 in fuel..... or more than half my wages

which is why its a weekend car now,and this weekend it cost me about 40 quid to go from perth to edinburgh,round the town and back to perth...

but on the plus side i did get to own a new focus rs,makes it all worthwhile lol and to be honest driven hard my 306 rallye isnt much better on fuel- performance or economy you pays your money....

[G.T.]

do you have a 54 plate black STI ?

[Beith Team]

do you have a 54 plate black STI ?

No mate, but a know the one. Mine is a white type r ver 4.

Youve hit the nail on the head. Keeping scooby.

My mates are not going to know what to do at weekends without the party monster.

[Big Gordon]

I fill mine every 6 days, but i knew it would be thirsty and i don't mind. Of both my cars the Scoob is by far the most economical one

[rig-pig]

welcome to the club the shell V-power club

iv got 2, glad the wife's wagon is just a sport, but its pants on fuel too but it doesn't need v power like mine 200 mile's to a tank 250 if i drive like a OAP Mmm no chance

[windy1945]

[G.Mac]
