Talking

im getting about 280-350 a tank now since i got the safc, and obviously the 280 figure comes from when my foot suddenly gets heavier. the 350 is from highway driving and about 30% percent street driving.

320 aint bad for your mods, u must drive like grandma?


oh, almost forgot, this is like the 40 billionth thread on gas mileage, theres like 4 in ot forum and numerous ones in the lancer forum stating exactly what u did, im interested in the tornado thingy though, u mean u actually think it does something?

what is this tornado thing ? I need to improve my mileage, I get about 250-260mi before light comes on, doing half decent and half crazy driving, still most on the highway.

I get about 22-23mpg mixed highway\city driving in my Evo...I usually fill up when I reach 280mi when the gas light comes on, and usually fill up ~12-12.5 gallons. ...but yea, there are a lotta gas mileage threads already

I get about 21-22 around town on an unmodded 03. I'm interested to see what happens when I put on my intake/exh/safc. Hopefully it will increase. Having to pay 3.50/gallon for 93 is really putting the hurt on my wallet

When I had my EVO with 3" tb exhaust, WORKS P2, Cams, TB I was getting on average about 200 miles (16mpg) on a tank of gas. I'm sure that If I drove it like a grandma then I could have got on average 250 miles, but a car with that kind of power is hard to stay off the throttle.

Right now with the Accord Hybrid I'm averaging just over 30mpg (mostly city/suburban driving) and never had to refill with less than 420 miles to a tank of gas. I also don't drive like a grandma in this car, though I probably should to maximize the fuel efficiency, but oh well.. I get too much of a thrill beating up on other V6ers and other hondas, including a s2000 once from a light up to 80mph, at which point he then started to pull on me. You should have seen his face when he saw I was driving a hybrid.

although I replied to the other threads in the past, my gas mileage has dropped significantly now that my commute has changed to include more surface streets. I no longer average 28-30, now I get 25-28... and it's a longer commute, so I'm back to filling up almost twice a week

200-240 miles per tank, all city driving though, stop and go, stop and go, not many places to coast or draft.

When I was in MO, and all my driving was highway, I'm sure I could get around 300+
