DAmn, I get 225 and the light comes on... 
And I'm in the breakin period, so nothing over 5000 rpm ever...
I have put 2 tankfulls through the car since I bougt it last week, and I got 18.5 and 18.7 mpg out of them...
I'm in Houston, so they put that crappy ethanol in the gas...

The Evo is rated at 19city 26hwy mpg. If you tune out the A/F ratio, stay off boost, use quality gas, keep the car in final drive, you can see 29-30 mpg - highway. Fuel capacity is 14 gallons. 14x30 = 420 mpt 
This is how I was able to get 400 mpt on the highway from WV to upstate NY. I was able to make 100 miles with each 1/4 tank...
Also, running a cam combo with a longer exhaust duration helps as does removal of the wing, lowering the car, proper tire inflation, using a clean air filter and, well you get the idea...

I have never gotten 300 miles per tank on my evo. I have noticed my milage has gone up from 240 to about 255-260 before the light comes on since the weather has gotten a little warmer out.
I'm happy when i get 300/tank on my Civic (11 gallon tank)

When I had my VIII I would average 200miles per 13 gallons, best I ever got was 300 all highway from full to "E" light.
My IX just ran 340 miles no highway from full to e-light during break in. Now that the car is broken in it's averaging about 280-300 during normal driving including frequent runs into full boost.
