My mileage has gone down to.Its definetely the cold weather and i dont know about you but i have been letting my car warm up until the gauge starts to come off cold. When i first noticed the mileage going down i realized it was the combination of the extreme cold weather and the car warming up for ten minutes while i,m getting ready to go out.

15mpg is preatty normal i think with an evo. its only a little below aferage
my life time aferage for the evo is 17mpg. i almost always get thet. when i drive it have i get about 14-15mpg. if you dont count 1 long single trip the most i gottem was 19mpg. and i only got that like once
the gas light alwys come on before 200miles for me.

ya I asked the same question on mievo.net here http://www.mievo.net/talk/showthread.php?t=1726
And the consensus is after the winter blend 94 oct in MI ends up being the equivilent of a little over 91 oct. So it can hurt your performance a bit.

Right now I am getting really bad gas mileage. The time it takes me to drive to work is about equal to the time I let my car warm up. I also live very close to work. Right now I am at 162 miles on the tank and I really need to fill up tomorrow. So I am guessing I will end up with 12-13mpg.

What's wrong with your cars !!! I just got back from S.C. 550miles one-way. Got
350miles on a tank. 13.1 gallons to fill up. 26.71mpg at 70-90mph.
Always put in 13.1gallons to be consistant.
I get between 280-300 in combined city/hwy with mad launches !!!
I only use Shell 93 or Sunoco 93 oct. gas.
My mods are HKS TBE,Hallman MBC set to 20psi,TurboSmart DP BOV and an air filter.

WOW, I am so relieved by your testimonies. I have been experiencing declining MPG since the temperature started to creep below the 30's and I have been really worried ever since, and the only thing my car has is an HKS drop in panel. I was usually getting between 230-240 mile sper tank, my commute also sucks, it is 14 miles roundtrip with mixed highway and city.

ive lost a little too. i use to get 200-220 now im getting in the 160-180 range maybe a 200 every few tanks. im going to change the plugs i think they are done. but cold weather and longer warm up times and running the heater and whatever else winter gas. thats my 2 cents

it's cold here in Bama lately 30's and I'm still at around 22mpg. After my break-in you can imagine I am enjoying my new MR. So I would guess that at Hwy sppeds long trip I could get around 26-27mpg...sounds like somethings wrong to me...
