evo daily driver - mpg
Does anyone know exactly how big the tank is on the IX? I took my IX MR out for a long drive, and was a long way from any gas stations... thought I was gonna run out! I filled up and got 14.376 gallons. I look online and some specs say the tank is 14 gallons, so I'm guessing the tank was pretty much dry at that point 

Finally ran a full tank of gas through the Evo without doing an autocross event. ~310 miles until fill up. No MPG numbers because I didn't do a full fill-up.
All stock except for K&N + Vibrant MAF adapter. Probably 90%+ freeway miles.
I was expecting much worse, but this isn't bad. Although I tend to get 30MPG (410 miles per tank, but keep in mind it's a larger tank) out of my 2.0L WRX on the same route.

am i the only one that gets horrible gas milage? my afr will drop to 10-1 with 3/4 throttle haha... i think the previous owner had mods on it with a tune then when he sold it took the parts off but left the tune
It will probably be cheaper to fix it now than to repair the damage it causes later.
The Evo tank is definitely over 14 gallons- I've put in 14.2-14.3 a couple times. A tune from Aaron at English Racing netted me 24 mpg while cruising 85-90 (I live in Montana), up from 20mpg stock. That tune will pay for itself in a couple thousand miles!
