hey guys I am about to buy my first evo its a 06 MR with intake itercooler and pipes exhaust and a HKS f-con pro. what kind of MPG should i be looking at? I'm comming off of a 32 mpg integra i dont expect it to be the same as this but i really hope it isnt like 20 when i'm lucky can any of you guys sound off with a average mpg?

 

you would think you would do a little research before your about to buy this car.
Fuel economy EPA highway (mpg): 25 and EPA city (mpg): 19 " " the internet
youll beat the ***** off it and get 220 miles to a tank if your luck

 

yes i know the epa estimated economy on a STOCK car but i am asking about a lightley modified car on my teg doing intake and exhaust picked me up 2 mpg with average driving on my track on 240sx before i took it off the street it remained about the same and my friends turbo awd tallon lost a few i am asking about how the evos mpg responds to light mods

 

it all comes down to the tune...you'll see anywhere from 16-30 depending on mods, driving style, and different tuners

 

One important mod to keep in mind are the tires. Get a nice low-friction tire that will net you noticeable results. The added benefit is they will be pretty quiet. The obvious downside is they won't grip as well.

Also, you could literally have your tuner lean toward the side of fuel economy if you wanted, but that would seem blasphemous seeing that you purchased a rally-bred, highly tune-able car.

 

Gas sucks with this car.

 

the tune thats on there is pretty nice already but its at a dealership so they really cant give me an idea of the mpg i was just looking for the averages people are getting on their setups from the sounds of it i should expect it to stay right around stock from what chaotichoax said and why on earth would i give up grip I'm shooting for 1g lol but yes i do understand what you are saying with that post yahu

 

I get roughly 20mpg on average with about 60% of that time being on highway. i usually get about 230 miles per tank. The average goes up dramatically when on highway. I bet I could see over 300 miles for a tank if i did straight highway. I am no where near stock.

 

with the f-con can you do 2 maps and switch between them? I am used to the AEM EMS I have on my 240 i have never dealt with f-con before

 

It guzzles gas like my dad's '79 trans-am
I have all the bolt ons and if I drive like a little girl I can get 280-300 miles on a tank on the highway. On the streets I get about 180-200 miles on a tank if I'm lucky.

You gotta pay to play....

 

with no tune and a drop-in k&n filter, my mileage went from 15-18 mpg, to 18-22 mpg. however, as i add more, it may drop, or not. we'll see.

 

few bolt ons, runs 12.2 on 91 pump, 20-22mpg in town, hits 30mpg on the freeway. love my GST tune

 

Not sure excactly but I get fair gas mileage. I will be getting a retune next week and then I'll be tracking my mileage. I would suspect about low 20's. I have almost every bolt on w/ stock turbo and cams.

 

by Far the wost car I have ever owned on gas. I get about 200 miles on a full tank. I have lite mods i guess. Cams, Exhaust, DP Tune some other stuff.. Meh price yah pay I guess but I would not call the evo fuel efficient by any means. Plus the tank is small.
