340 miles last tank... 65-70 mph

 

does anybody know what what rim manufacture and tire size I could use to thin out my four tires. I know with my honda i went from the oem size to a wider size and my mpg went down. I am sure it will have the opposite effect if I put skinner tires on my evo. I am sure it would also be a little quicker off the line because of lower mass to spin. thanks for your input

 

what the schmeck?!

 

i turned the EBC to off and watch the boost gauge to keep it low. many guys in the local club are trying to sell their EVOs and STIs because of the cost of gas!

 

i dont drive the evo now... just let it sit in the garage... the gas price is just ridiculous.. i used to commute with my evo since its summer but the gas price just doesnt allow me to do it... i heard gas price is gonna jump up to the $5 level.... with the price jumps up 50 cents a day... thats possible.....

 

I'm really trying to shift below 3000 rpms. We also drive my wife's toyota echo no when we go out...

 

Gas Gas Gas I still like to floor the Evo every time I get it. The only thing I do different is I am always looking at gas prices and my gas guage.

 

nope, i still drive the same
i just do less cruising

 

I want to know how some of you are getting 300 or more miles per full gas tank. I couldn't get that driving off boost and the on the highway around 75-80 mph.

 

my Power enterprise Boost controller is TURNED off! This means 12psi. on 89oct Runs 11.2-11.5 on A/F

 

I turned the boost down from 1.5bar to 1.45bar after filling up last night, if that counts.
But still spiked/peak to 1.55-1.6bar according to the BF gauge.

 

shifting between 2800 and 3200. Trying to get the best mileage possibel.....but it's really hard not to want to boost.

 

90% of my driving is done on flat roads at 65mph. I also shift between 3000-4000 rpm. I check my mpg every time I fill up. I usually get 25-26 mpg. Of course, I have the A/C on most of the time. When the weather cools, I'm going to drive 55mph, with no A/C, and shift at 2500 rpm just to see if I can get 30 mpg. It will be torture, of course, since this car begs to be driven fast.

 

slap on that stock exhaust to slow down that spool!

 

No, it hasn't changed my boosting. When buying a car like this, gas prices should not be a factor. If it is, then it is not affordable to you, generally speaking. Of course, I'd rather NOT spend so much on gas, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna let gas prices change how I drive. If gas went up to $10/gal or something extreme like that, then I'd just sell the car.
