sharon_mccall Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Right, I get 220 miles to a full tank of petrol(about £40), but I have been told i should get more than this. What do turbo's get? Cheers
ANDYJDMSTI Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 mine has been fettled with and i can still squeeze around 300 - 310 (60l tank)
sharon_mccall Posted October 19, 2005 Author Posted October 19, 2005 is there something wrong wi my car then? or just my driving?????
FastScooby Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 depending which way the wind blows.. between 180 and 230
the squiggle Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Now that is mapped, on the motorway i can easily get 170 miles to half a tank, rarely gets below half a tank before refills. Along a good back road i can easily swallow half a tank in about 30 or 40 miles. Grant
weeb Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 depends how am driving! going back and forth to work a get 200miles oot a tank!! must be the way you drive
ANDYJDMSTI Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 << Right, I get 220 miles to a full tank of petrol(about £40) >> you towing a caravan or something?????? i used to get just over 200 miles in my classic wrx (47l tank) and that was with 100 miles back road blasting then a steady 75 - 80 on the motorway. i think you are probably just driving it thinking you are in a turbo i.e bit of a lead right foot!!!
sharon_mccall Posted October 19, 2005 Author Posted October 19, 2005 << you towing a caravan or something?????? you are probably just driving it thinking you are in a turbo i.e bit of a lead right foot!!! >> LOL no not towing anything. But think you may be right wi the lead foot thing............... Just cannot help myself tho. I would be as well wi a turbo then for all the difference it would make.
craig mac Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 50l tank me gets between 180 to 200 to the tank Craig
Johnny50 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 On my last tank, i got 365 miles before i filled up, but the light wasnt on yet. Thats with a 50L tank.
mazheriqbal_mohammed Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I think it really depends on how you drive. When i have taken trips down to England to the folks place which is about 200 ish miles away i have managed as little as £25 for the journey which involves half twisting roads and half motorways. However recently when i was feeling a little more 'spirited' when driving up i managed to use £40+ over the 200 miles!! So depends on the driving i think, if you have a heavy right foot then expect loads of petrol to be guzzled!! However i find gentle acceleration up to a similar top speed gives better fuel consumption. Mainly though owning a 2 litre turbo'd car you just have to expect and accept high fuel consuption .... but hell i would never trade the scooby for anything else.
johnnyr6 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 160 taking it easy, but it is running on the rich side.. not too rich though
st3ph3n Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I get 220 miles on £40-£45 worth of petrol. I don't ever let it get below 15l usually. I'm averaging 23mpg it seems.
sharon_mccall Posted October 19, 2005 Author Posted October 19, 2005 I enjoy every penny of petrol i use. I am rather partial to a heavy foot but as has been said that's what scoobies are all about. Cheers for the replies folks
des_curran Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I'm not really sure what mpg i get but i do seem to get through quite a lot of optimax, i went to blackpool a couple of months ago and it was a full tank down and a full tank back up about £45 each way. I dont drive fast i just like to make progress
fai17 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I get about 220miles per tank. How does ANDYJDMSTI get 300miles?? Do you always drive downhill Or is Rubythescooby towing you
sharon_mccall Posted October 19, 2005 Author Posted October 19, 2005 << is Rubythescooby towing you >> LMAO That's what it is, am not towing a caravan, its ANDYJDMSTI behind me. lol Maybe i should try really hard and see how many miles i get to a tank. That would be a challenge!
ScoobyAndy Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I get a min of 230 n mad of 300 out the Ignis on £30 and thats a mix of town and very hard twisty driveing! Anyone want an economical quick car?
clan2_uk Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I checked mine two weeks ago, 230 miles until the light came on. just over 23 mpg and that was with 140 miles of 70 mph motorway cruising.
Bladerider Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I've seen how Sharon drives, and she's lucky to get as much out of a tank as she does. Foot to the floor until the engine bounces off the rev limiter, then its time to change gear. Good fun though eh! It's just as well you don't drive a turbo Sharon, or you'd be down to a single figure mpg.
