Evo's are suprisingly good on gas as long as you don't boost too much.

I've got 24.3MPG out of my tank.....
That is with shifting gears below 3000rpm with very low throttle, and cruising at 2500 rpm on the highway.


Then take a look at this :

I think it's impossible to drive your evo that economic. Why does this person buy an evo? The MPG he is getting demands shifting below 2500rpm and driving @ 2000rpm on the highway or something like that.....

I just averaged 23 mpg and I didn't baby it the whole time. Only "mod" I have so far is a K&N drop-in filter.

Hmm very strange.

I have to baby it very hard to get 24MPG......

Never went over 3000rpm while shifting, and very easy on the throttle. Also highway was 2500rpm cruising......

Oh, and I get about 260-270 driving around town. I don't dog it too much. My record is almost clean.

I broke 270 on my last tank and probably could have gone another 20 without a problem. I think this is the first time I got over 250 from a tank. Maybe it's the weather.

It's legit...I had 241 miles on the tank when I filled up and only needed 10.4 gallons. I do drive on the highway a ittle bit on my commute to work (10 of the 20 miles I would say). Oh well.

18?!? I got 13.5 on my first tank... Damn the fuel economy!

That's 160 miles and the light comes on!

Should I go to the dealer and have them look at it for this kind of mileage? All of my tanks so far are between 13.5 and 14.
