I've got a 2009 lancer gts 2.4 ... and I get about 27-30mpg, and like everyone else, city driving is horrible .. but isn't it horrible for almost all vehicles?...stop-start-stop-start...lol. just saying.

You are correct my friend. I go to UTI currently I learned it basic engine and in almost all my classes they always say stop and go traffic (city traffic) make's the most damage to your car NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF CAR YOU HAVE AND EVEN WORSE FOR THE SUPER CAR'S LIKE THE NISSAN R35 and such.

I'll be taking a trip from Houston to San Antonio tomorrow/today night I'll see what I get the best I've had is 28 mpg all highway for 285 miles and take's half a full tank.

tune is done by a local tuner cost me $100
check out calilancers.com my dyno graph is in there
I plan to get tuned for performance soon enough. Theres a sweet spot on the accelerator you have to find that helps with the mpg.

24-27 city and I mostly do city driving. I get around 280-300 for sport mode and d mode is 330-350 haha. I'm so used to sport mode cause of my exhaust but since price is higher now I guess I gotta use d mode now

I sometimes use 93 octane (Super) but right now the gas here in Houston is close to $4 for 93 so since I'm not running the car and it's just for gas saver cause I have a 5.3 V8 (LS4) Chevy Monte Carlo SS so I left it in my home town while I go to school
I'm kinda new the Mitsubishi E85 and tuning stuff 
But by tuning for a bill you got better performance and gas mileage?

Ya that's an idea I have as well.
I don't see the point of putting 93 octane,being that gas is rising quickly everyday anyways,in a NA car plus no tune yet.
I know a tune will make your car run faster of course cause I have a little bit of knowledge for "Delta Force Stand Alone Tuner" that my friend has for his 2002 Ford F-150 extended cab and it HELP'S A LOT!!!!

I'm just curious as to what everyone is getting for gas mileage in their lancers. I have a 2010 sportback 2.4GTS and have never gotten over 26mpg on a tank of gas. (I have RRM axel back exhaust and SRI) I really don't get on it to much so I figured I would get better mpg than 26.
what is making me think to ask is that when I fill my tank the read out on my dash says I have like 410 miles to go on the tank of gas and I never even come close to that on a tank.

I'm fairly new to that also, kinda hard to explain. but yes! just for a bill i got that. we road tune the car and flashed my ecu he fixed some things on the ecu and made my car more responsive at the same time more fuel efficient.

If YOU DON'T MIND ME ASKING.
DID YOU TUNE IT WITH YOUR OWN TUNER(LIKE YOU OWN ONE PERSONALLY) OR YOU WENT SOMEWHERE AND THEY DID IT FOR YOU?
