How far have you pushed it? - fuel!
Obivously not about going fast, no one on here speeds 
However, did manage to see 348.2 miles before the orange light came on yesterday after a long run up the A68 at about 70mph which is didn't think was half bad. Normally it is more like 280 and that's with luck!
MY03 WRX non PPP
What's everyone else doing? It was fairly cold and also dry which i think should help.

Normally sitting in traffic on the work run its been 270 and i tink with a bit of right foot action i could see that drop a lot further. i was gutted it didn't actually make it to 350 though. Wasn't driving like a grannie just wasn't speeding!

I'm used to be on about 220miles when I hit the 1/4 mark (that's 45 litres = 22mpg). Since getting the MY05 WRX PPP'd I haven't had enough fill ups to gauge it - I think I am down to 20mpg under normal conditions, although got 24 from a 400 miles run up North and back on the weekend.

Done all sorts of different driving over the years but it has never shifted from 220-250 mile before the orange light. Once or twice I have squeezed a further 30-40 miles on top but it has been coughing and spluttering for fuel and only just made the garage in time. (MY00 turbo)

At the other end of the spectrum: burned a full tank in six laps of the Nurburgring (about 75 miles).

On a motorway I got 320 before the light came on - Steady 80MPH. Filled up today when only done 210 miles. Got 4.6MPG when I went to the Nurburgring!
