My 02 wrx when standard did around 200 miles on a tank,
i had a 'tune up' at TSL a month ago and i get 260ish with optimax.
Not bad for 280bhp.

Nobody actually reads the replies anyway. They are all clammering to add their own info and not interested in anyone elses. So put down 550 miles and nobody will read it or give a damn

LOL 550

Actually, on a more serious note, that's bloody shocking that in the 21st century there are people driving modern cars around that do less than 200 miles on a full tank. Disgraceful, both for our planet and our wallets.

UK standard turbo MY00 - 300 miles. More on a long run.

Always use Tesco 99 - dont seem to get as many miles on V-Power and it costs more.

04 standard WRX, I get 280 before the light comes on. That's doing short trips twice a day (10 miles ish each way). I've had as many as 320 miles out of a full tank when on the motorway though. I use V-Power and don't exactly hang around much
I didn't realise PPP made the car do that many fewer miles in a tank!
