Question How Does Adding a PPP affect a MY 2003 STI's mpg??

After my first meet, and going too slowwwwww , now seriously concidering adding a PPP to my STI.

Question : does the mpg go down or as some poeple have idicated actully go UP ??

I'm getting around 24mpg via manly motorway use, and can't really do it if it goes much lower , as I'm doing 500 miles a week

Anyone got any proof on this or I'd like to just take a poll even

Thanks

Dave

Dave,
Yes my STi02 PPP did improve by at least 2mpg but unlike you all my miliage is done in Urban areas.

At 15 mpg before and 17mpg after PPP this must be attribruted to it's higher Torque and I do less changing down to get it to go

With yours already at 24mpg may not effect you. but if increased by just 1 mpg you'd could save about £200+ a year.

I can get 29mpg on motorway cruising in MY03 STi Type UK ... the drawback?? You have to cruise at 70mph ... and that's harder than it sounds in a Scoob

I have heard the mpg gets 2/3 mpg better spoken to two people who had ppp's added at 10000 miles so had good before and after comparisons.
