average milleage

[phara]

I hope it's not a stupid topic about the evo but i am from Europe and I want to buy an Evo 9 and it would be nice to know what to expect from the car in terms of fuel consumption - THE REAL ONE. So can anybody tell me the average milleage for city and highway. Thank you.

[evo_chip]

im getting around 18 street and around 20-21 highway before boost, im in the negatives while boostin :2funny:

+1

My stock IX gets 18 mpg per tank driving in stop and go traffic only, but I get about 21ish when I do only freeway miles.

I'm getting around 20-21mpg combined

[Hiro]

I get an average of 24/gallon.
Included in my mods are cams, injectors, fuel pump.
(Rumor has it: I drive like a bitch (if I drive it at all))
:2funny:

Expect to get what the manufacturer states you'll get.
But expect much less once you get on the accellerator.
;)

my 04 (mods in sig) gets about 14-15 in town and 18-19 highway usually. but if i try and be very nice to her, i've gotten 25 on a long trip only on the highway stayin at around 75-80mph and out of boost.

at the track... hahaha stock i got 5.4 mpg :twisted: and after the flash and upgrades i think it went up to 7.6 mpg.

DAMN, I THINK "A.A.A." SHOULD BE ANSWERING THIS QUESTION, HERE-I-GO QUEAR!

[Ducu]

so if i usually drive fast...like in boost all the time...and i shift at a minimum of 4000 rpms...and stops and starts?
What will i get?
10-11 m/gallon?

[ovenmit331]

if you only hit 4000rpms and never more, you'll probably get 17-18 mpg since boost doesn't really come on until 32-3500 rpms...

So .....after the flash the fuel consumption was lower??You didn't do anything else? Where did you flashed it?

[silvery_eagle]

flash does provide better MPG.... i got mine flashed at WORKSEVO.com and got aroudn 27-28mpg freeway.

You're from europe so i believe it's going to be a little bit different coz US version Evos doesnt' come with S-AYC

yeah, the car comes pretty pig rich from the factory. i also got flashed from the boys at Works... even though i'm only hitting 12.3 psi right now and no one can figure out why... anger...

[rammsteinmatt]

just got 20.5 mpg on my VIII gsr with a full HKS GT28 upgrade. sometimes the lag is a good thing ;)

[travelinman53]

I'm getting around 21. Solid 2 mpg improvement since Works.

[jester00069]

With my Evo I get about 19 mpg with mostly street driving.

[Skiracer]

I get about 14MPG with ski rack on car cruising at 90-100MPH

[Miss Evo8]

15-18 mpg thats pretty average for me...... street or Fwy

[C-Spec]

17-22 mpg

[silvery_eagle]

nice!
what do you get from WORKS?
for me freeway cruising i can get aroudn 27mpg..

[Macky]

the Works flash actually improves your gas milage since it alters your a/f ratio, using less fuel in higher rpms, thus saving you fuel.

[k2da_izo]

I think my mileage as dropped significantly since my alignment is way off. The car pulls to the right pretty bad. I just got camber bolts installed and will have the car aligned this weekend. Hopefully that helps with the gas mileage as well as the handling.

[Ben1386]

20-21 mpg mostly city driving on a stock car.

[socal_HKS_evo8]

i got 280 miles one time on a full tank of gas i think thats really good O0......its only cost me $34 to fill up since gas prices droped :laugh:

[JDMevoracer]

I uaually get 250-270 miles on a tank of gas as long as I don't boost all the time and just cruise on the highway. Around the city I can get 230-250 miles on a tank of gas and the same goes, if I boost a lot and drive hard them my mileage goes down. What really helped my gas mileage was changing to roayl purple motor oil.

wow, you must drive like a granny with arthritis to get mileage like that! if you can prove that the oil was the key factor in improving the mileage, i think we all would run it!

[Miss Evo8]

WTF! 250-270! 280! are you driving a hybrid Evo? Ive never gotten that! EVER! I have babied a few tanks...the best I got was 230 and I swear the car was about to run out of gas as I pulled into the gas station!

[JDMevoracer]

The best mileage I got on my Evo was 264 miles on a tank of gas, but that was on a long drive up the I-5.Â* I usually get 230-250.Â* For the record I don't granny drive and I don't have arthritis.

[C-Spec]

04 evo with Stage 1+ 720cc injectors. 280miles on average. the most i have ever hit was 318miles and people that knows me or have driven know it's fast too and it's yellow. ;) If you get shitty gas, chances are your low map/cruising tune is jack up. ;)

[silvery_eagle]

at most i got was around 27.8mpg... but that happened once and was right after i got my works p2 flash a year ago
damn time flies!
right now my average is round 24

[thisxguy]

stock IX

i average about 20-21 mpg city/highway (chevron 91 octane...yes chevron because it's $2.75/gal right by my house)

the most miles i've gotten on a tank was about 265...riding it almost empty (i think i had like1-0.5 galons left lol)

i guess i should get a damn flash since all you guys are getting better mpg than me. lol

[EVOL EDO]

18-21 average, i think imma get around 17 this tank

[silvery_eagle]

a tune / flash might help but it'll all depend on your right foot :D

[wj4]

im very anal about my mileage and i calculate my mpg after everytime i fill up.
everytime i fill up, i reset the odometer. the next time i fill up, i will see how much miles i put on since the last time i was at a gas station and would divide by how many gallons i put in.
my stage 1 evo avg's aboutt 22mpg on mostly freeway and some streets. i am at about 20.5mpg now since school started because i avoid freeways in the morning and take the streets a lot more.

[EVOL EDO]

^^ i do the same thing i reset the odo at every fill up and calculate my mileage. and my old evo got better mileage than my stock ix

[desertRS]

dang 27-28 mpg on a reflash i need one bad i have a long commute if i granny drive im maybe getting 22, until i see a V8 :)
