03 Lancer oz

Man seems like I only get about 240 mile on a full tank of gas.
It has about 136k miles on it. Must be the way I drive or something because those numbers suck!

I get around 290 miles on a full tank (138K miles on it) and I have a couple of engine mods (ported 4G93 intake manifold, cold air intake, ebay exhaust manifold+downpipe, stock cat back exhaust, run on synthetic oil) It just comes down to how you drive and where you drive, if you live on mountain roads and downshift a lot then your mpg will suffer, but if you only drive on freeways and shift at 3k rpm then you should get good gas mileage.

I get 260 to the quarter tank. Get about 300-320 till empty. And that’s with a turbo and 160k!

If I were you do your regular maintenance. Oil change, filter, coolant, make sure your thermostat is good, spark plugs, and seafoam the intake, gas, and crankcase. Till then, no complaints. We know nothing about the car except milage and gas problems.

240-260 is on avg for city driving...on occ i hit 270.. freeway i get 340 miles a tank
i have 80k miles on the odo.. i wouldnt worry about that.. it depends on ur driving habbits so if u drive like a normal person , youll be at or over 240/tank. now if u are on the gas, in boost or run the ac the mpg will drop

A intake and a tune should help you out.
