Basically my DD has only exhaust and a drop in filter with a tune. But guys with 400 hp couldn't shake me off.

Perfect power level for a daily. ~41,000 miles, no issues.

this... anyone here who is doing more than 400 is just hogging it on straight aways and getting **** gas mileage... I love how people claim they are getting decent gas mileage with over 400... especially the guy that said he is driving his Evo like he stole it.. I am sure your Evo is stealing your money as you are going through a tank of gas driving it that way.. come on guys... the Evo stock gets **** gas mileage, don't come here saying you are getting in the mid 20s cause we know its a bunch of horse poop

I had never seen more than 22-mpg on a normal work week, the average is between 18 and 20..,
maybe at the weekend , while cruising down hill, I can see 25 to 27.. but that's very rare...

lol for real though.. I use the gas cubby app since its a lot more accurate than the display on our cars..keeps track of your gas purchases, MPG, etc..on stock turbo e85, making around 400whp, I average 14 mpg. and I baby it, for the most part at least. so if youre on pump gas, big turbo and all that, there is no way you get 10+ mpgs than I do! Maybe 5 or 6..

I get 210-220 miles every tank, and usually fill up 10-11 gallons...averaging 20 mpg. It was like that for 10k miles @ full bolt ons and tuned, and it is still like that with my EFR 7163. If anything, I've been seeing slightly better mileage because I am out of boost more with the bigger turbo.

That's primarily highway driving on my 15 mile commute each way to work, and some spirited pulls here and there.

I can see 27mpg on a long highway drive at 55mph, but that's not real world. At the end of a tank, it's still around 20-22 mpg max.

How much does a UICP, ETS Intake, ETS V2 Catback, 3-port, Tune get me? That's all the mods I'm doing.

What fuel? And are you gonna leave the stock cat? On 91 around 320whp. On 93 around 350whp. E85 around 370-380whp

wouldn't really be able to do e85 without fuel pump and injectors anyway. obviously depends on dyno too though but yeah no more than 350whp

Stock cat, 93 fuel, Thank you for the answer. This is what i will be aiming for then. simple bolt ons. I noticed their is a Access 3-port and their is a grimmspeed 3-port & COBB. Any recommendations on a 3-port? Just need to tune the bolt ons.
