Fuel economy shock mixed with trackuse

[Gumball]

I havent got the best subaru for fuel economy and tend to get a maximum of 170-180 out the tank.

kicking it somewhat produces even less and stands at the 120-130mark.

For some reason with my tank that i just finished i havent been really taking it easy that much, raced a porsche 911 and a rather stealthy navy brue RA on the track and still managed to get..............

162 miles out of the tank !!!!!

wrf is going on?????????????????????????/

I get 220-250 out of 3/4 of a tank. I'm not trying hard enough it seems.

Maybe the slippy roads have made you a wee bit gentler with the right foot?

Or maybe someone has replaced your fuel tank with a bigger one when you weren't looking!

I managed Bathgate to Nottingham on 3/4 of a tank last week - 335 miles.

Never above 80 on the M74/M6/M61/M62/M1 though

You are using your brakes too much ...........

Remember you are doing warm up's cool down's etc

Still weird though

Quite agree with this phenomenon:

High boost driving medium fast = 190-210 miles per tank

High boost driving fast fast = 230 miles per tank!!!!!

Low boost avarage driving = 350 miles per tank

I get 220miles from a full tank (£43). Does this sound about right for a Sunday driver?

My fuel economy is great as my car is fuc*ed and in the garage i dont spend a penny on fuel

Strange happenings m8.

Oh forget to tell yous thats my VW Sharan TDI auto.

<< got 450miles to my tank. >>

shat the bed !!!

then i realised there was a drop down period on your reply to say it wasnt in the scooby. i was going to ask wtf you were doing to get that consumtion.

Face facts Chris, you drive like you have a 20 league diving boot on your right foot. Just be happy your car goes as well as it does. Economy is the price you pay for preformance.

think i get about 250 miles to the tank, not exactly sure as i never let it get to empty , as i have to leave enough to get to the nearest shell garage, and all the school runs during the week murders the petrol

On a similar subject....

How many miles can you get once the wee orange light has appeared?

[spooks]

Ouch I thought mine was bad after getting a mere 200 outa a tank (I normally get 270-280 outa a tank) over the weekend but thats poor.

Never run the tank totally dry but once the wee yellow light comes on I did manage to get another 40 miles before I decided to stop playing fuel tank roulette just in case

i tend to get about 180-210 with my sti, used to get a maximum of 190 with my old my00.

the red light and beep from the dash does mean im at optimum revs for maximum fuel effeciency doesnt it?

<< I get 220miles from a full tank (£43). Does this sound about right for a Sunday driver? >>

I'm with you Vicki. 200 odd miles for 40 odd pouds of Optimax.

Strangely enough, the difference between having fun and being boring only makes about 25 miles of difference.

Didn't know there was a light appeared! Not that brave to go that far!

tell ya wish i had bought an impreza as my VR6 only managed 290miles from £60 driving from manchester to home average speed from start to finish was 77 though!!!
