The Ultimate Milage and Gas Milage Thread!
I get around 160 miles to a FULL tank!! I get around 12 MPG and the car is completely STOCK. I usually do alot of city driving and a little highway driving to go to school and you can say I have a heavy foot. So is my car stupid, or is this normal?
I think it is very low milage............I live in anaheim and i drive my car 91 freeway and on the streets of anaheim & getting about 265 on full tank. I think that comes out to 22-25 per gallon.
I have been getting around 29+ but my drive is all highway, around 400 miles to the tank if I coast into the gas station. I run 93 octane or better and rarely use A/C or the defrost tho. The only mods are a K&N Typhoon intake, denso Iridium plugs, RRM test pipe, and a carbon canister
Oh yeah and a new cat courtesy of Mitsubishi recall, I will let you know if the reflash they did when they changed the warm up cat changes the MPG

why do you run 93 octane with only those mods? I thought we decided long ago that without advanced timing, higher octane fuel offers no benefits... in fact it hurts because of carbon buildup.
I usually get about 20-22. i do half my driving on highway and half in town. The reason mine is so low is that i have 18 inch wheels that weigh me down. I would say at least buy 5 mpg, but it looks good.
