Steady stuff. Must have been a stiff tailwind. Aren't you supposed to be using 97 ron petrol not 95 ron?

95 is okay, but 97 is worth the extra expense. I'm getting better mpg from my WRX than from my previous car, an Impreza Sport Wagon, so your figures don't really come as a surprise.

Must admit I didn't find a big difference with Optimax in my MY99 classic, but others on here swear by it .I get about 26 to the gallon out of mine , and it does get 'used'! You must still be running it in ...just wait !

IF i'm talking real figures and doing a bit of driving, 240/260 miles per tank. Fukc the enviroment and its only money.
