mileage

i know its been discussed a bunch of times....ive recently been flashed by jester tuning in florida im sure everyone has heard of them...and i see alot of people on the forum getting 300 + miles to the tank....no i know location + elevation play a big part but.... im still maximum getting....maybe...250 most to a tank with controlled speed on the highway 60 65 mph... just wondering what everyones take is.

not much spirited driving shifting roughly 3,000 rpm - 3,500 maybe a couple of decent pulls but...

Bone stock EVO IX MR with the nice tall cruiser gear here.

City driving I get ~18mpg

Mixed highway/light city driving ~20.5mpg if I baby it (no pulls, very little boost as needed to merge onto freeways, etc)

This is consistently the case for the last 4 - 5 tanks of 91 octane.

I've done 300+/tank several times now, but that's East; where we get real gas and not **** pretending to be gas.

bone stock 2006 evo 9 has about 8,000 miles on it.

Gets BP Ultimate 93+

I get on 5 fills and calculations 19.34 miles per gallon
and driving upstate NY on highway miles doing around 75-80miles with occasional pulls to 130mph I get 25.04 miles per gallon. Occasional meaning one hard pull every 50 miles.

Hope this helps but I find that the average mpg hits it right on the money.
Ben

If you wanted to really run your fuel tank dry, I'm sure you could get 300 miles on a tank with all highway driving (on flat ground). You would have to stay out of boost. Our tanks are 14 gallons. If you went 300 miles on 14 gallons, then your MPG would be just under 21.5mpg. So, it's not impossible.

For me, I experience about 19-21.5 in and around town with casual driving (occasionally spirited). The best MPG I experienced was about 24.2mpg over about 200 miles. I had to drive really slow and consistent though, not fun!

Our cars can be pretty good on mpg, but if you constantly have your foot on the gas pedal then our cars can drink gas like V8's.

By the way, the 24.2mpg was obtained with 200 flat HIGHWAY miles at about 62mpg average.
