I got 34 in the south. But it's slowly creeping down bit by bit. And motorways is now 30mpg even cruising. Gonna have a tinker see if I have messed something I did up. Flat compared to Durham but not dead flat like the Fens. No motorways at all and only a few dual carriageways so speeds down in general which probably helps with the economy. Main thing for mpg is to stay out of built-up areas. As we've got the same (standard?) model, you can always PM me print out from FreeSSM and I'll run a check on mine under the same conditions - and we can compare?
Jamie_uk Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Only difference I presume is the foam panel filter. Hadnt heard of that freessm before I'll check it out
kershaw-330s Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 I still average between 32 and 33 with occasional spirited driving , upto 40 on a run well atleast that's what the trip comp says but I'm sure it's full of crap lol Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk
Seminole81 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Think I'm on route for a new record 120mi on half a tank so far...mind I've barely hit boost until yesterday.

That went downhill quickly...bairn wanted me to go fast hahaha now at 180 with 1/4 left.
Kanny Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 I did half a tank yesterday on a 35 miles round trip... I picked my brother in law up it was his first time in the forester so I gave him the full experience
Seminole81 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Haha ended up with a whopping 208 before the light came on. I know you've got like a gallon or two left when the light comes on, but I'm bricking it at 220 now. Going to head straight to petrol station after work tonight, but that's another 4 miles or so haha
WRRCwayne Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Still trying to work out the mpg on the forester. Put £25 at about 1.24 ltr bout half a tank was on the gauge and I got around 100 miles. Is this good/average? Was a spirited 100 miles though and starting up the engine etc. Also, do the S turbo have fuel lights to say when nearly empty? I've been cautious as I didn't want to risk running out and getting crap in the pump lol

I've been cautious as I didn't want to risk running out and getting crap in the pump lol I would say that's about average for these cars with spirited driving... There is a fuel light, mine doesn't come on until my needle is completely on empty, if you look at the previous page on this thread you can see 2 images I've uploaded and where my needle is for the light 1
Sirspidey Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Best way I found to work out mpg, go to your usual petrol station. Fill up until it clicks out (don't top up). Zero mileage counter. Wait as long as poss to fill up again, but use the exact same pump and fill up until it click out again. You should get a litres figure then. Then all you have to do is check what mileage you done and make the mpg calculation. Done this with most of my cars, only too scared to do it with the scooby lol. 2
Kilrathal Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Feel i can brag about this one a little, as it'll probably be the only time i ever get this high. When i picked the car up it was on fumes so filled up on Momentium. Before the long drag from Matlock to essex. Was stuck at 50 through speed cameras half the way and didn't take it out of intellegent besides the blast a way from the odd tailgater. Was rather surprised. Get 22 to commuting though :S

Sandals Posted June 19, 2017 Author Posted June 19, 2017 Might be onto a personal record. Drove like a granny to my in-laws and back (around 130 mile round trip)... mainly motorway. Currently just above half a tank and have covered 203 miles! Gonna keep driving like a wuss and see what i can get :D
david1972 Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 What did that equate to in mpg at the pump? [emoji122] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I put around 11 gallons into the tank... so around 34mpg. Which means that I had around 2 gallons left in the tank! Think it's a 13 gallon tank...
david1972 Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Decent effort that....I'd be too scared to let the needle get that low [emoji85] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk

Seminole81 Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Hmmm...didn't want to risk going much further, but record before the light came on! Haha 1

Haha that's a normal fill when the lights on! Mind the light probably would of came on in another mile or so...but still! Best so far...maybe it's because of the new fuel pump 😉😬😂 1
david1972 Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Best tank to date tonight - still had 1/4 left on the gauge and got 33.12mpg over 270 miles 1
david1972 Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I'd rather fill up twice more [emoji14][emoji106] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
