"down to less then a 1/4 of a tank"...i don't think he would be complaining about 120 miles for 25% fuel burned.

I assume youre on pump? It could a problem with your tune. Have your tuner check your maps out.

Calculate your fuel usage in GALLONS per MILE if you want ANY sort of accuracy. A MPG shift that seems very significant can actually only be a very minor change which can be attributed to weather.

Have you checked the common things like, what do your plugs look like, boost leaks, etc.?

Compared to my 04 STi, it's way harder to drive this car off boost. And once you've dipped into the boost, forget about MPGs...
