Well I struggle to get 220 out of £70, although it is all around town and probably rarely get into 4th!.Last trip down to Wales however, with family, it did 320 miles to a tank which I was pleased with.

Just checked my spreadsheet for my WRX300 (55 WRX PPP) and that averaged 29.3 over the 15,000 miles I had it from new.
Max 36.9

Never bothered with mpg figures so long as we use the same every week, then it's

Maybe worth cleaning the maf if you think it's a bit juicier than normal?

When mine was a 2.0 I used to get around 230 miles to a tank comfortably, now I'm 2.5 it's dropped slightly to around 200 - If I play and use Anti Lag at all it drops like a stone, in fact the anti lag switch has not been used for about 2 months now!
