tuner is petey turbo at krazy house. Idk really how I do it but everytime i fill up the tank I can get over 300 everytime. but on the other hand I went on a rally a few weeks ago and only got 130 miles to a full tank, but that was going over 120 for a while..lol I honestly drive normal and get on it here and there but nothing special. Air/ fuels are around 14.7 cruising so I think thats pretty normal.

if you used 13.5 gallons (out of the 14 gallon tank) that would be 26 mpg. if you'd have said that it was 100% highway miles, you stayed off boost, drove no faster than 60 mph, and drafted every truck you could find, i might have believed it. but saying that you got into boost a bunch of times? only thing i can think of is that the station where you fill up is dispensing ~55-65% ethanol (e60-e70).

when my evo was in the tri-cities where the ethanol content is ~75-76% year-round and there are no hills, i could consistently get 200 miles on 12.3-12.5 gallons (waiting until low fuel light turns on) if i stayed off-boost. in portland where the ethanol content is ~82-83%, its more hilly, and i go wot all the time, i get about 160 miles per 12.3-12.5 gallons. with 72-75% eth, best i ever got on the highway driving ~72 mph on gently hilly terrain with almost no traffic was about 230 miles at 12.5 gallons.

about the same as most here, 17mpg with a normal mix of highway/city/rampage. I do of course see better when the winter blends start to come out.

I don't lean it out that much idle/cruise, keep it around 14.6 equivalent, might not be quite as good of mileage but with the engine/cam combo I have it runs much better that way than trying to run it up into the 15.2 and above

I get about 160ish to the tank and thats when the light comes on.. all I do is city drive on 93OCT.

If I do ever get on it.. i get a bit over 150.. switching to E85 scares me but I will do it regardless and see how it goes..lol

On my last EVO8, I got about 125-150 MPG when I was having fun. It was around 175-190 MPG when I was just relaxing.

190-240 usually, right around 16-18mpg typically in stop and go city traffic. On the highway I average 20+mpg but where I live in NC its pretty flat.

I recently switched over to E85, First tank was all highway with about 20 mins of pulls for tuning. I got 17 mpg... next tank I was driving around town and Having fun with the newfound power i came up with 13.75 Mpg.. I think if I drive nicely without WOT I think it can be about 150-200 easily.

I did but what does that have to do with the fuel of choice?
