Evo X gas mileage? It sucks. I average 17mpg driving like a granny. The best I was able to do was 23mpg on a trip to Atlanta. Of course you'll find folks here that claim 30mpg but they are lying.

true, but i hear having an aftermarket tune will help get 2-3mpg, 30mpg is a straight up lie unless they reset the mileage computer while going 40mph in 5th gear cruising down a hill

When I had my G35 the best I saw was 18.9 MPG...you just don't have to fill as often cause the tank was bigger.

Necro alert! I feel like reviving a thread almost as old as my car!

I used to average better gas mileage, but now that I drive in SE Virginia traffic I get 19 to 20 mpg a lot of the time.

Highway mileage is better IF I behave myself. Last trip I calculated 26.5 mpg.
This coming weekend I'm actually going to check on my tire pressure and see if I can do better.

I've pulled 30 MPG at 55mph. That was with the average climbing so it might have been slightly higher. I was impressed.

Dual map since Flex fuel wasn't available at the time

I've been averaging around 22-23mpg on my FE, mixed driving. Should get a bit better as I get past the break in, currently at a little over 1k miles.

Should get worse after break in period, assuming you're babying it right now...

I got about 25 during the break-in period. A lot of town driving for breaking the clutch in.

Who can stand driving on the highway with that drone? At 80-90 it's insane lol

Heh, a fair point lol. I'll get less only because I'll be beast-moding it. Still, I don't like to take it much higher than 70 on the highway, because like Blue said that drone is obnoxious.

I get pretty much 23-24 driving normal, with some spirited acceleration at times. I can get 27-28 but that's straight up grandma driving and hypermiling. I'm 100% Stock FE, stock map stock everything. TRUE stock lol.
