What is consistence?

I was as the track last weekend practicing, and for the first time I was using a PT. First, I must say for someone who is trying to get better, the PT is the best tool out there. It really got me focused on how I was handling the track and gave me real feedback to my setup changes. For example, when I changed to my one way, even though it was harder to drive I bested my fasted lap with a diff by .5 seconds.

Anyhow, I know the key to fast driving is consistency, how far off should each lap be from one to the next to be considered consistent? My fastest lap was 13.2 seconds and slowest (without hitting a board) was about 15 seconds. Would a .5 second difference be consistent....a 1 second difference? Obviously driving in traffic and how much traffic makes a difference...
