I normally get between 21 and 24 with my MR. I'm stock. This last week though it dropped like a rock. The temperature rose about 20-25 degrees and I've been leaving the AC on all the time. Boy do turbos run like crap in the heat. lol.

Quick update... I got my best mpg to date... 24.4, about 95% freeway with the A/C on the entire time, usually going 80-85 mph, not even trying to get good gas mileage, I was passing cars left and right and downshifting a bit.

The best I've gotten city driving was about 240 miles and I filled up about 11.5 gallons on my Evo9 with a custom tune (stock everything else) and using 93 octane.

Also, miles per tank mean jack-crap. No one here is filling it up to the top and running till completely empty. (If you ARE running the car to empty and having a tow truck take you to the nearest gas station, then I apologize )

AREITU's method of calculating MPG is correct and that's what everyone should be posting. (Although there will be a variance of when the gas nozzle actually clicks off)

~19-20mpg - spirited, non-highway driving (no A/C).

~23mpg - less spirited, non-highway driving (no A/C).

I don't know how well the car does on the highway, as I do my best to avoid going straight for extended periods.

With the 225lph pump and 680cc injectors I got 28mpg on a 5 hour road trip on a single tank of gas. I usually get around 25-56 mpg driving 70% highway and 30% city.
