Anybody jealous?

Just bought my MR a month ago and have been getting consistent 25MPG in city driving and also 33 on the highway (long trips). I don't know if this is common or not but I saw a thread/poll suggesting that we get crappy gas mileage.

Haha thats probably true - I do have a 3" TBE, Apexi intake with shield, Hallman HBC, tune etc. and more parts coming. I get into full boost several times a day but i don't tear around needlessly. What are you seeing with your mods as far as gas mileage.

I know right! I thought I had a civic the first time I filled up the 12 gallon tank. However... In my 96 TSi AWD that rocks 561 AWHP I get about 30 in the city. That's most likely because my turbo is a laggy son of a *****. Still I'm pretty happy with the evos mpg regardless of how jealous you guys are with my "granny shifting and double clutching like you should".

with more mods and a proper tune, my mileage usually goes up, actually. You're just not having enough fun, like others have said.
