Hi guys,
I know it's hard to believe but i've been driving for a week without engaging turbo. 95% of the time i'm driving at or under 3000rpm. The rest of 5% up until 4k rpm , HOPING that this way i can gain more Miles per gallon....because of the upraising gas prices again...
the whole week of struggling turns out into a big dissapointment.

My regular driving yields about 21+ mpg almost 22, and after today's refill, I still got 22.5mpg ... only like 0.7miles per gallon improvement...

I was hoping that at least i would get like 23-24mpg...but oh well..... i'm going to have fun driving instead of trying to save some gas now....

my car... all stock.

 

join the club.....our cars like gas...what can we say?

 

After I installed my RS intake I had to drive off boost until I got a flash done so on the way up to Bushur I got 27.40 mpg. Do you have some kind of intake? A better filter might help you out.

 

Yeah don't feel bad, I get 15.7 mpg lately. A base flash would help you a little bit.

 

when I stay out of boost I get 26-28 MPG on the highway but if I play I can go through a 1/4 tank in about 15 miles

 

i get about 250 miles per tank and gas here is $2.50/gal for 92 oct.

 

I get about 30 miles to a gallon on my aem with 1000 cc injectors and it idles like stock!

 

$2 a gallon here for 95 octane which I run. dont know exact mileage, but I can always get 300 miles on the highway...but of course you can burn it up just as quickly.

 

You must do a lot of city driving. The secret to getting good gas mileage with the Evo is driving on an open freeway, being very gentle on the gas pedal AND not spooling the turbo.

SC~

 

yea lots of city driving.. like 70% ... maybe it's just these days' traffic... i was really light to the pedal, and no spool for the whole week.. (worst suffer)..
