So, do you want the gas mileage or the car's range?

no idea on range, but around town here in Long Island i'm getting 18.5 (bawlin) but i drive easy and tend not to redline really at all. At school in VA with all the hills i was getting about 12.7ish which was sucky. Average highway i get like 25ish but on one trip to NYC, i averaged 31 which was also great. That was really taking it easy averaging about 60mph.

There have been countless threads about this...use the search button.

That being said,
The RA is capable of getting 350miles highway/250-270 city on a full tank of gas. Unless you drive WOT all the time.

Never pushed it to bone dry, but calculated I get about 530 Kilometers for a FULL tank. That's approx 80-90% Highway, but by no means driving like grandma, in the 120-140 K/H range (depending on the flow of traffic), I'm sure I could do 550+ on cruise @100-110. (i've had the meter in the car down to 8.5l/100km once going very easy for about 70 kilometers, which would be around 600ish, but I could never drive that easy that long

EDIT:
That's with a tune/boost pill

That's pretty amazing, I never got anywhere close to that kind of mileage.

So far the most I got was 334km till the warning light showed up, and that's even combination of city and highway driving. I also live in GTA, sometimes I think my car has a problem that's why I never get any good mileage. But this things is so hard to say because of different driver driving characteristics. So it sucks to get bad mileage but I just ignore it now.

where did you bring your car for the tune/boost pill?

I get 8.9 to 9.0 L/100km all the time at 118 km/h, and just under 10.0 L/100km at 128 km/h (where I drive to avoid tickets in 100 km/h and 110 km/h zones).

The tank is about 55 L, so that works out to 550 km (340 mi.) at 130 km/h (80 mph), 610 km (380 mi.) at 120 km/h (75 mph). At Mitsubishi's rated spec of 7.9 L/100km, you'd get 690 km (430 mi.)

About the same millage then, except I live in GTA so get hit with more traffic, I work nights, so going to work is smooth sailing, but going home (8am) I hit rush hour for about 30-45mins (so more like city then highway even though I'm on a highway). Just filled up today 44L drove 425km, I was pushing a bit harder on the car this week though heh.

Tune and Pill is from AMS via email. I flashed it myself with cable.
