Gas Milage
Not whining or anything just trying to get a baseline.
At 400 miles or so I calculated 20.83 mpg. This is 50/50 street/freeway.
I think this is pretty good actually for what this car is. Does it get better? I know it will get worse as I pass my break in threshold
Thanks.

it depends on your driving. the usual range with mixed driving is anywhere between 18-21mpg for stock cars. if you get a tune it'll increase since the tuner leans out the pig rich maps.
for the record..i average 20-2mpg1 on my stock 9 and i TRY to get good gas mileage. i got 23 mpg on my last half-tank, that's shifting anywhere between 2500-3000 rpm and cruising under 3000rpm (since mivec is working at 3k rpm)

I've seen as low as 17 and as high as near 26 in my Evo IX. That high was on a trip through California, coming down from Shasta to Sacramento, so the hills probably had something to do with it. However, mid-20's were not uncommon on that trip. I did notice a major difference between cruising below 70 and cruising closer to 85, and the AC made a pretty big difference as well. I think the lowest I got on the trip (freeway) was about 21. But in-town driving (revving and boosting) I usually get 18-20 mpg. Still much better than the 14 I used to get in my Cobra before trading in for my Evo!




oh well she's worth it.
