Two tanks should change things.

This 23.5MPG has been ever since I fitted the Michelin Alpin's, they must have a bit more grip/resistance.

I am almost at 10k miles and car hasn't burned any oil, dynoed 552 whp stock, getting around 15mpg mixed driving.

That was to the wheels?
So with 12-15% RWD loss you have to be well above 600 HP!!
I heard it before but I didn't know it was that easily reproducible

Thanks for sharing

That's not bad mpg, in the circumstances!
