Guys please talk in mpg.....miles per tank is not telling.
I get 18-19mpg with mixed driving.
I get 22-23mpg all highway.
I get 15-16mpg around town boosting alot and driving like a tool.
Mods: Dropin/mbc/fuel pump/dynoflash for 283qhp 303wtq

The thing I hate the most on my MR is the totally crap gauge package. They are small and you can't read them unless it is night or real low light conditions. I want to know what moron determined these gauges were the right choice. I would much rather have white/black or black/white. Oh yeah, lets also bury the optional guages down so low they are useless and put the radio up high were the sun makes it hard to see display. There will be some changes made.

I'll take a picture and show you after I get home from the track tonight (hopefully with some 7.9s in the 1/8th).

my only peeve about my 05 evo would be the cd player/ audio system. i didint upgrade to the infinity sound system. i have the stock mitsubishi one. but there is this little gap between the cd player and the silver piece that goes around the cd player and ac controls. well the other day driving home from work at about 6 in the morning so it was dark. i go to throw a cd in real quick not really watching where i put it. so as i wait to hear the cd start. it doesnt. i got stuck between the cd player and the silver piece. i'll just wait to get the cd out after i get either a new head unit or something.
