that's remarkable!! I've only had my Sti PPP for a couple of weeks. I thought I'd given mine a real thrashing in the first week but I still got 200 miles out of it?!

You haven't seen dodgy looking kids with a tube and a petrol can near your car have you?

My record stands at 2km/l, about mid-5s in the mpg I think

That was at Twin Ring Motegi when the car was std, I hate to think what it'd be like now with about 100ps more than it had in those days.

I'm going to Newquay from Essex this weekend. Hope I get a little better economy than that or could get quite expensive!

LOL
In a 747 you'd get about 6 miles on 60 litres (10 litres per mile) Try beating that !
But it does have a bigger fuel tank ... like about 100 tons worth
