Interestingly enough, my X (stock) gets better gas mileage than my RA (stock). It uses on average 0.5L/100km less (about a 2mpg difference). Went from ~24mpg to ~26 on my daily commute. 80% hwy, avg speed ~60mph/100km/h.

Hi masafina. It all depends were you live. I had driven from Gurabo to San Juan early in the morning and had seen bit more than 30mpg on my average meter without resetting the MPG meter. I got a picture of that. But most of the time I spend hours in the everyday traffic jams in the metropolitan area in the island doing lots of stop and go short trips that were making me achieve only ˜18mpg based on my logs of miles per tank. I never been able to do a long drive around the island to see how much I can achieve. But I know I can get decent numbers.

My car had a custom tune from DynoCenter, EVOX BOV, Injen Upper Pipe, WG Actuator mod and a drop-in HKS filter. Nothing more.


Lately I sold the car because I decided to move to FL and end up selling the car. Right now I spend all weekends checking classified for a decent deal of a RA 09+ with at least the RockFord Fostgate Radio and HID that I loved so much on my previous RA. All I can find is the basic plain model.

So if anyone here knows someone in FL willing to sell his RA send me a PM.

Beware the funky economy bar graph - it's a random number generator!

I'm baffled by this. Same commute?

I just got back from a trip and averaged about 550 KM per tank on the highway (average of 120 km/hr) running Cobb stage 2. I was pretty impressed.
