I have the 1.8bar boost chip, same car, and I am regularly getting 280
mile per tank. I drive about 99% freeway, and don't get on it ttooo much

I get max retard quite frequently and figure it is crummy gas. Although
I don't know for sure. You should pull codes and fix all the problems
before you chip, at least thats what I hear is the BEST way to do it.

Good Luck...
