That is ONLY correct if you drive WOT all the time. But if you cruise, then the AFR will be at 14.7:1 regardless if the car is tuned or not. So the mileage is not affected. Get two Evos one tuned and one w/o a tune and cruise in them on the freeway and check the mileage. It will be the same for both.

I've gotten 306 out of a tank before and still had atleast a gallon left in the tank. On average, I get about 220-230 or so per tank.

I average 17mpg. During track days I get 6.5mpg. There must be a gas leak somewhere...

You do have to realize we only have 13 Gallon Tanks, so saying I only get 250 per tank and complaining about bad gas mileage might not be accurate.. you need to figure out the Gallon to mile ratio. simply see how many miles you get and divide the the number of gallons you have. Can someone clarify do we have 12 or 13 gallon tanks I always forget.

per tank means nothing, let's see MPG numbers it's not that freaking hard guys.
