I used to deliver pizzas when I was in college. I would never consider using my evo to deliver pizzas with. It isn't bad money for what the job is it just kills your car. To answer question stay out of boost or turn the boost down is about the only way to save on gas. What I would really do is buy an Geo Metro. That is what I used to deliver pizzas in and I think got around 40 mpg.

then every single cent i had saved up went to the evo downpayment

When I was breaking in my clutch on my Eclipse and had an AFC, I was able to get 25mpg city and 36mpg highway by staying out of boost and applying the gas pedal slowly. Doesn't make for real fun driving though or fast deliveries. The money you will lose in tips will probably offset the gas you save

i make good money delivering pizzas like $550 -$700 take home a week. that might sound rediculous but i make $8.50 an hour in my check then another like $10-$15 dollars an hour in tips. i like to use my evo for delivery. im loaning out my civic right now to some girl, and i guess im gonna regret that a lot now. ya it does smell like pizza sometimes but nothin a little frebreeze cant help. i even used my 350z to deliver pizza and it was better on gas then the evo.
