Standard WRX - what's the highest you've managed out of a single tank?

Does PPP'd WRX count If so, 350 miles 'til the light came on and 52 litres to fill it, so maybe another 8 litres left allowing potentially another 50+ miles. 32.75mpg on the way back from Devon last year. Going again soon so will have another go

Sutten Bank, North Yorkshire, in a STi PPP. Managed to climb the hole thing on one tank of fuel, and still had enough left over to get me home. Amazing !!!!

Don't know the exact metres above sea level, but I'll get back to you on that one.

When my MY03 WRX was standard could only get around 290 - 300 miles before the light came on (8 litres left).
