Not sure about the accuracy of each readout, but the EVO shows about 26 to 27 MPG at 52 MPH (on cruise) at 2200rpm, and the same stretch shows 30 to 31 on a 08 Z06 but only 1100 RPM. The Evo only has about 1K miles will this possibly increase later?

 

what exactly are you asking?

is it accurate? yeah, unless you change injectors. nothing beats tank-to-tank milage/gallons put in the tank

is it going to get better? no. be thankful you are getting 25+ cruising on gas. most people don't get over 20-22.

 

The corvette has an overdrive gear unfortunately the X does not.

 

mine has a 6th gear

 

Yeah, i'm lucky to get 22-24

 

I averaged 19.2 mpg for a full tank in my Evo X and for the most part, I drove it like a normal daily driver. When I was having fun, I would get 16.8 mpg to a tank.

 

best i got was ~22 mpg and that was all highway cruising about 70

 

Damn, screw all you guys. I think I'm more around 14 to 16 day to day in town.

 

Getting 20-21 mpg combined mpg with some spirited driving here and there. Pretty acceptable to me

 

My mistake. I thought I read somewhere that the 6th gear of the mr and the 5th gear of the manual were 1 to 1. They are 0.7 to 1 (an overdrive gear). The fuel savings on the ZO6 is that 6th gear is 0.5 to 1

 

Not sure what you are driving at with the Corvette numbers. Corvettes will get better highway mileage (30mpg+), Evos will be around 22mpg on the highway. Do not expect it to get any better.

 

I was getting 17.5 driving normal and having fun at times. Placed a K&N drop in it went up to 20 driving the same way! the filter will pay for it self in no time!

 

I'm a solid 14.5 in a city full of hills and stoplights

 

Not complaining, mileage is not why I bought the EVO. Gas could go to $10 and I would still never consider a Prius or some electric POS. Just comparing a 4cyl 290hp with a turbo to a V8 500hp NA engine.

 

my last car had 60k and got 24mpg. today it cost me $46.50 to fill up the evo and i still had about a quarter of a tank.
