im really interested in trading in my 03 bmw 330i for a evo IX... was just wondering would the bmw 330i fuel consumption be less than a stock evo IX even if you would drive the evo mostly from 2000 to 3000 rpm and would rev the engine up from 3500 onwards from time to time? how many miles per tank would you be getting if you drove like 60% highway, 40% city(2000-3000rpm most of the time, w/ boosting from 3500-6000rpm at times)?

if your really worried about fuel consumption.. than I'll say it again like everyone else does the EVO is not for you.. If you think the cost of gas is expensive.. just wait untill you have to replace your stock $200+ Advan tires every 10,000 miles.. !!

This is one high-maintenance car (fuel, good set of tires, synthetic oil, etc)--be sure you have adequate budget for it
Some people claim they get mid 20's MPG or even high 20's MPG b/c they dont boost or whatever--I find that realllllly hard to believe because the best I ever did in 3 years of driving evo was 22...Most people agree that they get 19 MPG, give or take 2

I get a consistent 21-22 mpg with mixed city/highway driving. I don't do stoplight-to-stoplight drag racing, but I do put the throttle down when I get the chance. For all the fun the evo gives me, I think it does very well on the gas mileage.

FWIW, if you're talking about drag racing, the Evo has other capabilities, as well. None of then are even remotely tapped by running at 2-3000 RPM.

He said mostly 2k-3k, with 3.5k - 6k from time to time. I think that describes almost everyone that uses their Evo for a DD, as I know I personally can't get on it much on the way to/from work unless I want to put my bumper up someone's tailpipe.
