160 miles a tank?
OK, who can tell me how to get than 160 (ish) miles out of a full tank in a MY03 WRX STI PPP Type UK?
Is this normal or is it because of the brick I keep in my right shoe ;o)

Lucky if I see over 200 miles per tank MY99 UK turbo ECUTEK/Full Decat
Mainly "urban" driving"..... Think I may have squeezed 250 on motorway run
Do you guys keep off boost....have you taken off the turbo? or just light footed???

WRX03, about 260 before I fill up, but thats only 35-40 litres (fill up early)
Whats the approximate off boost point in 5th on a WRX03? If I'm on a motorway for a long time, I'd prefer to be off boost, but what speed should I be doing to be sure I'm not on boost?

Just got 274 out of last tank (STi8 Non PPP). Worked out to about 20mpg but with no fun. That is the most miles I have had since owning the car.
Does PPP actually improve consumption? My dealer said it does but I assumed that was just a sales pitch!

Standard MY03 STi Type UK
driving ms.daisy style: 28-30mpg easily attained (65-70mph on RoadAngel)*
driving enjoyably: 20-25mpg usual result
Latest run from Bristol->Southampton (M32/M4/A34/M3+town work):
125 miles, 20 litres optimax squeezed back into tank = 28.41mpg (approx)
+2 waves from fellow Scoobs on the M4
*hard to maintain, having other cars overtake you just doesn't feel right in the Scoob

Usually get around 220 to 260 miles If driven hard about 160 to 180
Best I have got is 340 miles on a run from Essex to bristol and back doing 70 MPH all the way and a ickle bit faster on the return journey

MY99uk 320bhp+, my best run, a day on the motorway was 360miles on a tank, all sat at 70mph.
Varied driving is 220miles per tank, my worst was about 170 and that was just: go out, warm up, thrash, cool down. Stop. Start again.....

bit of an update
turned out not to be 160 miles, but 130 miles.....
I'm gonna try a tank full of slow driving (if I can manage it) and see what it does (other than bore me half to death) !!!

Got a fully de-catted MY00 Turbo 2000 and got from Hameln, Germany to Hook of Holland port (260miles) on just under a full tank, i did touch 245kmh (150mph) a couple of times too!
Incidently, German Shell garages stock V-Power which is 100 Octane and is around 90p a litre! Its just been introduced in Holland and Belgium and will hopefully be here soon!
