I don't think it's a question of him just complaining about gas milage for th esake of complaining. He getting considerably less gas milage than what mitsu reports for his car. There is definately something wrong if you are getting that bad of gas milage in our cars. I would recommend taking it to the dealership and have them check it out.
On another note. I changed to synthetic oil (Royal Purple) recently. At first my gas milage went up slightly from about 23mpg to about 24-25. I changed my oil again using RP and my gas milage has shot up to 28+mpg. I still think there is something wrong going on with you car and it should be looked at. But for the others out there, switching to synthetic helps out.
I have turbo and get 22-24mpg around town.
Every time I go to San Diego, I get 27-29mpg.
Now if I'm really stomping around on it, I will get 19-21mpg.
So, I would say if you are only getting 19mpg or less on just normal driving, yeah, sounds like somethings up!

I also get about 500 kms to a tank (300miles) if I drive 'nice'. Make sure when you're calculating your mileage you're not dividing by your tank capacity but by how much you are actually using. When I use a full tank, I typically get about 42 litres of fuel in the next fillup. The tanks capacity is 50 litres - big difference.
Also, I see Apexi in your sig, I assume it is a Safc? Maybe you've got it running really rich where you don't need it.

Well, I replaced my HKS filter about a month ago, and NSC replace my torque damper with a newly re-design one, both which should help my gas and so far nothing. Honestly, this wouldn't be such a problem, if I had the power to back up the faulty gas, but some of my friends that own evo's, sti's or srt4 are getting better gas THAN ME, and they are NOT STOCK.

What is redline f/i? Where can I get it? Is it a fuel injector cleaner?
