if you have an android phone, the app Mileage is really good. I used it religiously on my GTS before upgrading to the EVO. All the info is exportable via .CSV file and it has a lot of in app statistics in it. Great part about it is that you don't have to actually calculate miles between trips, you only add the odometer reading and the amount of gas filled and it takes care of the rest.

Wow, I didn't realize these cars had such a small fuel tank.

btw, where do you get those apps that track your fuel economy?

Mine is from aCar (android). Fuelly is good too (the weblink someone linked). I just like aCar because i use it to keep track of the VIN and technical crap on my fiancés car and my other car I had for awhile.

Here's an update on mine (now that I have over 6k miles on the car)

aCar is free on android

There is a paid version, it allows you to backup and export your data, but you can fully use the app itself without paying.

I did pay for it though. I like supporting development of apps I like. It was like $4.99, that's cheaper than a fast food burger now-a-days.

Thanks! It's nice to see a full year recorded by someone. Shows me my average is right on par, but I saw your low was 12mpg and high of 26

...I bet the time you got 12mpg it was fun

2010 Evolution X GSR (Stock)

9/04/2010 - 9/03/2011

Average MPG	19.74
Maximum MPG	23.64
Minimum MPG	17.65
Total Costs	$1542.43
Total Miles	8366.7
Total Gallons	423.9
Total Fill Ups	39
Total Days	364
Cost per Mile	$0.18
Cost per Gallon	$3.62
Cost per Day	$4.24
Cost per Fill Up	$39.55
Gallons per Fill Up	10.87
Miles per Fill Up	214.5
Miles per Day	22.98
Miles per $	5.42

Speed/route: 45MPH for 5 miles, 25-35MPH w/lights for 3 miles, 55MPH for 15 miles. Lots of twisties and constant elevation changes

30-45min commute, no track time, occasional aimless driving a few times per month, and the odd 1HR+ journey to the dealership

It doesn't seem to matter if I drive "spiritedly" or very conservatively, I always seem to average 19 to 20 MPG on every tank.

And yes, I do feel like a total dumbass on the rare days I try to hyper-mile an Evo
