I reckon I am getting around 180 miles on a tank on Optimax, mainly around town at the moment. Does this compare to you?

Depends on what your 'normal driving' is like :-)

Seriously, since it was decently run in (10k miles) mine has been doing about 250 per tank. That's at a 90mph cruise (on private roads, officer ).

In my 03 Sti I once managed 300 @ 70 mph constantly. Usually I would get 250 - 260 as long as not doing too much overtaking
