I only get 17 or 18 on average but it is city type driving. I don't get on it too much, either.
Regardless, it's an Evo and fuel economy was not important to me when I bought it. You don't buy a high performance car and worry about fuel economy, or maybe you do?

I believe That Seattle944 was right. The more I drive my car the rougher I get. But the mileage has still increased. I DIDN"T BUY THE CAR FOR THE MILEAGE! I bought it because Mitsubishi has more then proven themselves to me with my other car. When on the open highway it gets about 25 mpg which is right about where it should be. My complaint is over. The car is broke in. The mileage has increased with use and experiance. Fuel economy is important to me when I'm not gettin on it because I'm not gettin on it. If the mileage stayed at 17 when I was just tooling around I would have been concerned. But it doesn't. Happy me. Happy you. Happy everyone.
