I know the evo is not the most gas efficient car at 18 mpg but with all these new turbo kits out it looks like everybody wants one and doesn't care about gas mileage anymore. Is this the case? I'm just curious if the majority of evo owners are willing to keep adding more power with gt35R turbos and 800cc injectors or is 300 whp really enough to play with. I guess it all depends on the person and if it's a daily driver. What i'm getting at is if you would rather have 500 whp and get 10 mpg or 300 whp and 18 mpg (both with nice tunes of course).

 

more power = more parts breaking = higher maintenance

do the math

 

300whp is sufficient enough

 

Well gas is almost $2.50 now so I wouls say 300 @ 18!!! Remeber the days of $. 99 - $1.09? Wow that was the crap back then!!!!

 

yeah... it doesnt seem that long ago either...

edit: wait... were you talking about premium?

 

FORGET GAS, POWER POWER POWER even if youll have to push that power....

 

im pretty sure a lil of both is possible

 

consider yourself lucky...here in CA...we pay 2.60-2.90 for 91 now

 

as a daily driver = 300 at 18

but i would like 500 @ 10

all depends on situation

 

they say $3.00 will be the minimum by the end of the year. $2.35 here at Dallas. Europe is seeing six bucks.

 

500 on pump and you got a monster

 

if your trying to save money on gas well then trade in the car and get a honda i get 10 mpg on the streets 19mpg on the highway and i dont complain i got about 5500 puls in mods

 

You guys get 18mpg on a highway? i got a lex gs 300 and i get the same thing, i would rather drive the evo than the lex, cause i like the power in the evo. What if you take it easy on a highway, can you get a better mileage than 18mpg? thanks.

 

I get 24-26 on the highway routinely. If the cost of gas is really a concern, you can't really afford a car like this...

 

i say both would be great
