Question Evolution V Fuel Consumption

Hi, I'm wondering if there is some reason my evo 5 is going through so much gas. Daily driving without much boosting I only got about 360km off the tank. Seems pretty low, my Subaru STi version 7 used to get 470km when it was standard.

The evo only has a K&N pod filter and a RacePro BOV. Do BOV affect fuel in a big way or something?

Thanks.

I guess 360km isn't too bad, I didn't really take into account that its only a 50L tank and I only run it to petrol light which means 8L left. So 360km from 42L is similar to what my STi was getting.
