If you are filling up when the light comes on, that's around 12.5 gallons, so you're getting 20 to the gallon...
Best I have done with highway driving (at legal speeds) and AC on was 23.5 to the gallon

I'm tuned from CBRD (STU tune) with a 3" turbo back (Perrin HFC) and I AVERAGE 270 miles per 12.5 gallons. I've got better occasionally, up to 300 miles, but that's rare.

I get 250 at most too, and wondered if something was wrong with the car. I have DC Sports cat-back and Peakboost intercooler on mine and I thought it would make a slight increas in mileage but it didn't.

Gas mileage has more to do with your average speed than the tune. If I were to drive 60 or 70 on the highway in 5th gear I could probably get 22 or maybee more, but I tend to average 90 on the highway so I get 20 on the highway.

stock tune is very rich, it has plenty to do with gas mileage. A stock tuned car would be spraying more fuel regardless of speed. Load for Load the target AFRs on a stock tuned car call for more fuel.

I'm in arizona.....I always fill up when the light comes on and then reset from there...I have 10.5K on the car now....when it was new I was seeing around 280miles to the light.....my driving is about 90% city
For the last 3,000 miles or so....last part of summer(Aug) until now I have been averaging 310 miles from full to light being on....that was stock
I currently with the COBB tbe (testpipe) and stage 2 91oct flash...the last fill up...which wasn't a full tank either....today my light came on and I was at 312miles....and that wasn't even on a full tank......
I drive the car for work only 3 days a week....some weekend miles which are harder .....but after I got the COBB AccessPORT flash I have been driving harder and the miles per gallon have gone up.
Maybe my evo is just weird though cause I have always received better MPG than like 99% of peeps on EVOM
