Pure city mileage 20-25mpg... i don't count it cause frankly... gas prices are depressing enough as it is that i don't want to see a consistent sub- 30 mpg fuel economy figure. But im ok with that... cause i didnt buy this cvar with fuel economy on the top of my list.

I don't - I get similar mileage. 2.0 litre engine. The 2.4 is going to be somewhat lower.

Yup that's around my mpg too. Highway is about 26-32 mpg straight highway and cruise control sometimes lowers the mpg too.
Is yours 5 speed or auto?

is that what the little computer in the middle of the cluster said? Because if so don't always believe it cause they lie and number's change drastically. But then again I see you drive a ES which would make that a smaller engine,I think.

LoL you too. I just have to do it in standard cause auto driver's accelerate way to slow and late here in Texas.

The best highway I've had is 32mpg and that was doing 65ish on I-10 going to Houston from my city San Antonio.
In the city I run about 24ish to 28ish just depends on time of year and traffic. It helps that my car JUST hit 900 mile's on the cluster too

O ya and I drive a 5 speed and shift like a granny,sometimes,(3 rpm-3 1/2rpm) when not trying to accelerate quick or when I try to conserve gas...being a college student and all.

.
the computed MPG on the dash on these have proved to be VERY accurate, there was a thread in the evo x section comparing the average MPG to the actual MPG and the furthest off was by .4 miles. this was done by resetting it before taking a short/long trip from start to finish, not including starting up and turning off and what not.

True because I've noticed mine is off about 5-20 mile's be that I sometimes take it to 6 1/2 but if I granny it the whole full tank it's usually within 10 miles or less correct

40+ on a 2.4 GTS?
Maybe on a ECONOMY TUNED SETTING. But not on any racing or street tune. I know how to some what tune ECU's.

I've been learning has I go for about 6 months now and research of course on the internet and the performance shop right down the street from my home,which has the fastest EVO in Texas....8.9 in the 1/4 n I think he had a boost leak at that

People should not be using the fuel mileage in the display. Its optimistic by 2-3mpgs.

Also, some people are using different MPG ratings... Europe and USA use different MPGS.

I hand calculated my last tank... on 45 liters i got 372kms... which is 19.4MPG or 12.1 L/100kms... 100% city driving. Also is during the winter which destroys fuel mileage. I didnt buy this car for fuel mileage so i am ok with it

Winter gas and temps kill fuel mileage anywhere between 2-5 mpgs depending on how cold it is.
