STI PPP MPG
Can anyone tell me what range consumption should be for a STI 8 PPP.
Week day journey is only 3 miles each way so car is pretty much running cold. No mods other than ppp.
I seem to be getting around 20 or slightly under.
Before anyone says i shouldn't moan about mpg figures i'm not, i just want to make sure the car is running as it should.
The car seems ok on its weekend 120 mile round trip but never actually check the actual figures.

usually get about 240 miles to a tank, in my 03 STI PPP although better on a long motorway run. best was 320 miles to to the tank, worst around 180. all in all, very dependant on how you drive it, a couple of quick blasts and the needle moves in an instant !

I'd say 20 mpg is about right on short runs like that. Mine used to do about 23 mpg on 12 to 25 mile runs with PPP but since remap this has improved to 25-26 mpg. PPP is quite a rich map for warranty/safety on any old SUL, AFR about 10 on boost. Remap stretches this to 11.5 at the inconvenience of only using V-Power.

You loose about 30% fuel consumption over the figures when the car is running cold (approx first 3 miles) so your not doing it any good 
you could be healthy and take a bike to work?

Easier said than done when i have two kids to drop off at nursery, school and then get to work. Also i dont fancy a 3 mile sprint on a bike in a suit to get to work for 9:15 (And no there are no changing rooms with showers at work).

I will only worry about consumption if its using more than it should suggesting it ain't running right.
This is my second Impreza so i am well aware of the their petrol consumption and am happy to pay the price as long as the car is running as intended.
