More like hell with a small fan.

Until gas goes back down to < $2, I will not be fully satisfied. No one should be.

It's $4.29 here for 93.

I agree. I don't buy this 3.89 is low BS. The gas companies put it up to 5 later and than when they drop it by 10 cents everyone is like ...woohoo! it is 4.90! yeay we are in heaven!. BS, I remember the 1.69 a gallon days and I want those back Gas should never cost more a gallon than milk...wtf.

I have to agree that's why I just bought a BOX for my wife. 50$ to fill her up 'the evo not the box' and that goes fast!

Actually turbos do help mileage, but the tune on the sport cars only make that happen at High RPMs, and hence you only see the difference at high speeds. You also have to remember that gear ratios need to be favorable for mileage, which is NOT the case with the EVO. Even the 5th gear on my X GSR is not designed for highway. Hence you see a lot of the benefit turbos have to offer in terms of mileage diminished. Hope that answers your question.

I believe Calif and Chicago are doing the worst this season. I was there in chicago recently and the gas price was around 4.35 for regular and 4.65 for premium. SUCKS !!!!

Man, I hope the price of Milk doesn't go up !!!!


I hope you know that we still pay only half the price per gallon compared to the rest of the world. Comparing how precious a resource Oil is considered to be, I would say we are getting a bargain deal on it. I definitely still feel the pinch though.

I got an average of 24mpg on highway cruising at 75-80 mph on a recent trip to chicago on my EVO X GSR. Highest point was 24.3. However, take off the cruise control and step on the gas for a while, and it falls back to 23 or even 22 pretty quickly. I wish they dint have to run the 4B11t so pig rich !
