What do you guys & gals usually get per tank? I got 250 miles out of this tank in city/freeway driving with my CEL on.

I got 27 mpg on one tank in which all I did was drive ~65 mph on straight roads (with the A/C on) to and from work. I was hardly ever in boost, which is really hard to do. I'm planning on getting a catback exhaust and K&N air filter. Together these should enable me to get 28-29 mpg if I drive REALLY carefully. I want to see if I can get 30 mpg just once, even if it means I have to drive 55mph with the A/C turned off. Most of the time, I get about 24-25 mpg with a combination of in-town/freeway driving. But I don't drive the car hard.

I avg around 20, but I am on the boost almost all the time with 282whp on tap. When I have extended periods of highway driving, I get up to 22-23 sometimes, but most of the time I'm around 19-20. I rarely go a full tank without at least one racing event, though (auto-x and/or drag).

For the most part I drive pretty mellow to and back from work. Mostly highway type driving at an avg of 75mph. I get between 280-300 miles per tank. Seems really good compared to others on the board... I really don't give it to much off the line unless I need to 
. If I drive like an a$$ then I hit about 250.

This car isn't meant for gas mileage, it's meant to be driven. Some people just happen to have long commutes that help them to get better avg gas mileage while piling on the miles quickly, but otherwise there's no reason to have 25+mpg as your main concern.,,

And don't listen too much to those folks who flame you for being concerned about gas mileage. Not everyone races their Evo, in the same way that not every Hummer owner does hardcore off-roading. For a lot of folks it's a really fun daily driver. There is nothing wrong with wanting to save some $ at the pump.
