Just refulled this morning:

276 miles on 50.5 litres

Equates to pretty much 24.8 mpg.

Driving mainly in light to medium traffic, approx 20% motorway. This is pretty much what I got fom my MY00 turbo, though two factors: 1. Revs have been kept to a max of 4000rpm, which means better MPG than an average tank, 2. This is the first tank, and I understand that fuel consumption improves significantly as the engine loosens up. Hopefully these two may more or less cancel each other out.

Anybody else finding similar fugures?

I got nearly 320 miles out of my first two STI tankfulls. It's now since dropped to a much more reasonable 220 ish.
