Don`t get wrong, in this car to make power you have to cut fuel, not to ad fuel ,they come rich from factory, if you make the air fuel ratio close to14:7 you make the most power and economy in this car. this car have been fully tested in Puerto Rico

High 20s highway (note: I hate cruise control and haven't even bothered to figure it out on this car)
Low 20s city

Worst I've seen it was 16 while hooning through a backroad.

What year is this Lancer if it's a Lancer or is it a Ralliart? I test drove a 2011 Ralliart and the cluster look's similar to this one.

Damn! I live in Houston and I get about 21-25 mpg in city and 24-29 mpg highway n no tune but then again I only have 5K on it.

That's normal driving.
LoL Cruise Control is very simple but I wouldn't use it on highways with lots of hills.

Are you running still 93 or E85?
On 93 octane I get 21-25 city and 25-28 highway.
