Thanks hahaha to let everyone know that we are not as lucky as our south of the border friends.

Maybe in the weekend I will go see some Ralliarts with my girlfriend.

She was in love with the SPEC V but I will try to show her the two possibilities.

It's too bad there's not many parts to boost the performance of the car.

I really hope the aftermarket will grow for this car.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I've tried driving like an 80 year old great grandmom and I still can't get anywhere near that kind of gas milage. In regular daily driving the best I can pull is about 24mpg and on the highway I can push it to 27 maybe 28 mpg. I have no clue how some of these people are getting like 32mpg. I think it's made up personally.

Try changing all your fluids to synthetic, adding 5 psi to each tire, never use the AC, keep the S&S package off, keep out of MIVEC, and never excede 75 mph.

I get 31-32 on the highway.

I get 25 in the city with a lead foot, but out of MIVEC.

change fluids to synthetic - I'll look into that

add 5psi to tires - I'll try that

never use the AC - I rarely use it

S & S package off - Ummm, I paid $1500 for that and I'm gonna use it.

keep out of MIVEC and stay under 75mph - I already do that



I'll try the tire and fluid thing and see if that makes a difference. You're still getting a lot lower than what otter says he's getting. That dude is getting like 30mpg city unless that 375 mpt is all highway, cuz I can see getting that. But in the city? I find that hard to believe.

LMAO, yeah... go into the evo forums and when sombody say's, "should I get an MR or should I wait for the evoIX", you should bust in and say,

"nah... get a R34 GT-R... there faster"

THere should be an attention or warning message before you enter the RA forums... "evo not offered in canada, so please don't reply with telling our fellow canadians to get one"

I'm just saying that's how I get the mileage. I'm not saying don't use it.
