I travelled from Pompey to Cumbria last week which is 330 miles on 1 tank of tesco 99 ron (£70). This was driving around 90 mph and going easy on the boost. Half this for urban use though !!

Why does he have to have the car mapped?
It's a 1995 and it only has a decat.
Yes, a map my give upto 10% improvement in economy, but at £300+, that will take a long time to recoup.

short journeys won't help due to the cold warm up using more fuel but 100miles to 50odd litres is excessive.

And you see - thats the biggest problem.
Folks think (or get) the impression they're invincible when they get in them.
The cars get associated (rightly or wrongly) with the real WRC machine thats been on TV being driven by a professional.
Impreza's bite - and bite hard I can tell you.

you think because they are 4wd they are invincible. Then, just a bit too much coming out a corner, and WHAM! Back end is out, then game over. I nearly did it once the other day, wasn't even really giving her too much, and the back just moved out a bit - Just enough to remind you that your not above the laws of physics
