EVO X - Gas Mileage?
I did a search but didn't find any direct answers.

I know mods and even how you drive the Evo can influence the MPG rate.

So, basic question:

what is your estimated MPG with the new Xs?

I just got the reflash and have only driven half a tank, but at half, I am at 146 Miles...

Before the reflash I was at approximately 115.

So you can do the math. This is with about half freeway / half street.

I agree, the car does run a lot better.

So you guys are getting about 19-20 MPG? Again though, this number would depend on how you drive. If your a feather or a lead foot on the gas pedal.

On the freeway I've seen 26mpg (according to the fuel economy computer). Just doing basic miles/gallons division...I've gotten about 23mpg as an average over the last 3 tanks (917 miles on the car). I did the reflash 1 tank ago, so I haven't gathered enough data on it since then.

Funny how gas prices influence gas milage posts. :-)

Honestly it doesn't bother me much since the Evo isn't my Daily. I use the data just to take note of any potential fuel system or overall engine issues.

I would say you're pretty close to 30 mpg if you feather an X on the highway with the new dealer flash.

Excellent!

That should be alot better than my 19.7 mpg 4runner


Although, I assume its very difficult to want to "feather" the Evo. hehe....
