same here.. now i know why A/T sucks big time. not just because of the power, but also the gas mileage..
imma also try to put back my stock im to see if its the one f'ing up my mileage..(noticed my mileage got f up after i installed it)

 

Mitsu dealer told me that it is in fact inside the tank with the pump. They said there is no actual filter needing replacement. I only found this out because I went to virtually every auto parts store when they switched to 15% ethanol in our gas and I thought it was the fuel filter giving me hell, but the auto parts stores didnt have a number for a fuel filter. I finally went to the dealer and thats what they told me was there isnt a replaceable filter without replacing the pump.

 

You can replace it without replacing the pump. Take the back seat out, take the access plate off... there are about 8x 8mm nuts... take those off take the pump out of the module, replace the Strainer. AutoZone has the Strainer (or can order it overnight) for about $20. OEM strainer is about $15-$50... depending on if your dealer uses matrix pricing or not.

 

dump some fuel system cleaner or seafoam the next time you fill it up, you don't really need to replace the strainer

 

I have an 03 ES 5 speed I am getting 300-340 per tank and I dont drive to save gas!!!

 

02 OZ auto I get 280ish a tank.

 

eventually you'll have to. Especially if you fill up all the time after the fuel tanker leaves or is still there filling the tanks.

 

I use the fuel system cleaner stuff every few months, and i get around 300-320 miles until the light comes on. And i do not drive it easily, i have a heavy foot, and i like to hear my car rumble!

 

28-30 mpg turboed. when full boost about 26-27mpg

 

03 OZ manual...i am getting 625-700km or 388-435 miles a tank..its a big gap because 625 is city driving and 700 is basically all highway

 

I have 02 oz auto and I get 300 or better when driving modestly and 275ish when I drive like a maniac.

 

Actually recently when I drove the speed limit on a full tank I got 350 miles. Maybe that's why there is a speed limit, not just another reason for me to get a ticket

 

I have a 03 OZ 5 speed manual with RRM SRI and a cat back exhaust and my last time at the pump I got 32mpg and that was after romping on it doing about 85 on the highway to get to work on time lol.

Between racing to work, having fun around town and driving somewhat sensibly... I usually get around 32 to 37 MPG. Or between 310 to 360 miles to a tank.

 

I have a completely stock automatic Oz and i get no less than 300 miles with a hwy/local "aggressive" mix on hilly terrain. Once i pushed it to around 350 miles than shortly ran out of gas

 

I feel like bringing this back to life...so I can complain about my car getting >270 MPG...

I hate my car..
