yeah he's right, when your coasting in gear the injectors are going to be at 0 pulse width (am I using that word right?) as oppose to cruising in neutral which means the engine will have to give fuel to keep the idle up... im only getting 220 to the tank and my car is stock...

Since you're tuned, drive out of boost.. Simple as that.
Stock I would usually get 200 miles at 1/4th tank left. I have a base flash now running 11.4 - 11.0 AFRs and I get 245-250 miles at the 1/4th mark. I try not to run my car under a quarter tank.

I just drove from Atlanta to Clarksville, TN which is a 300 mile trip and I would normally have to fill up at about the 275 mile mark but today I decided to just drive between 75-80 mph and I was able to make it to 320 miles before fill up. Driving style has a lot to do with it.
what the heck are you talking about man?

I get around 22 miles per gal driving normal for me. (passing aggesively, speeding) I could get much better but then why have a evo. It's twice as painful to drive an Evo slow.

Doing 150km/h on normal roads - Ur RPMs are around 4000's - Boosting.. Gulping Fuel!
Doing 180km/h on highway - Ur RPM are around 4800's - 5500's - Full Boost..
Now with all this how do u expect to save fuel man!
I drive my car very rarely thru the week and then 2 days for the weekend.. a full tank give me nearly about 400 Kilometers.. thats driving both with boost but mostly i keep my self at 110 - 120 KMPH.. max.. other than that.. you are not gonna get a good milage!
Drive safe!
