That doesnt make any sense... People who have 110 would have to gas up every 2 miles....Its 100-110 where I am, and has been for a while and I am still getting 20ish mpg. Call up mitsu and talk to a DIFFERENT rep. Getting 10 MPG is horse**** man.

 

its all the same after the car co gets your cash your on your own i am ****ed he even said in the winter it will be less i should have stuck to what i know cars

 

somethign is definitely wrong. i have 9400 miles and i just filled my car today and was able to get 301.5 and there was still a bar left on the gas gauge. it took 12.396 gallons to fill her up. wheather here is pretty much the same in boston. i have a gsr though.

 

At this point, the only thing I can suggest is getting a tune, or keep *****ing at mitsubishi.

 

An exhaust leak before the front O2 sensor, any boost leaks (brand new evo's can easily have one), and/or bad front O2 sensor can all lead to extremely poor gas mileage.

Cant believe some of the "normal" mpg I read. I can reach 260 miles out a tank.....on E85....

OP I hope you get your problem sorted out.

 

do we need to do anything to the evo to run e85????????

 

If you are having an issue on gasoline, you are going to have the same issue with E85. The fuel isn't your problem, it's the car. You could always have us go through the car for you and fix the issue and send the bill to Mitsu you are like 40 minutes away from us too.

OP have your mom or grandma drive the car. Let us know what they get out of it lol

 

I hope you get it all figured out, but as people were saying before there is definitely something wrong. I have a 11 GSR and even during this hot summer in Vegas blasting my A/C every time i drive i still get around 240-260 when then the light shows up, shifting around 2500-3000 or between 3,000-4000 mixed city and freeway. I have around 7700 miles now. I have every single gas recipe too. I even write down the mileage on the receipt. The only mod i have installed atm that has been on for a month now is my Greddy ti-C Turboback.

 

yea usually within your first 1100 miles you get 10 mpg but the lead foot should eventually go away

 

I live in Boston and got an epic amount out of my first tank... Dealer fill (cheap gas) so I figured I'd keep it completely out of boost. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. I havent been able to recreate it in my short 1k miles since buying it but I half attribute that to my proper gas and such!

 

go buy a pair of nike's instead of the bricks your using.

 

The day I took my GSR out the lot I was doing 19 city and 22 highway...

I think he's got a heavy right foot lol

nah seriously if you really are taking it easy it should jump up to the upper teens no problem in city driving... something's not right :/

 

i get 240-280 to a tank... of 93...
