you would think you would do a little research before your about to buy this car.
Fuel economy EPA highway (mpg): 25 and EPA city (mpg): 19 " " the internet
youll beat the ***** off it and get 220 miles to a tank if your luck

One important mod to keep in mind are the tires. Get a nice low-friction tire that will net you noticeable results. The added benefit is they will be pretty quiet. The obvious downside is they won't grip as well.
Also, you could literally have your tuner lean toward the side of fuel economy if you wanted, but that would seem blasphemous seeing that you purchased a rally-bred, highly tune-able car.

the tune thats on there is pretty nice already but its at a dealership so they really cant give me an idea of the mpg i was just looking for the averages people are getting on their setups from the sounds of it i should expect it to stay right around stock from what chaotichoax said and why on earth would i give up grip I'm shooting for 1g lol but yes i do understand what you are saying with that post yahu

I get roughly 20mpg on average with about 60% of that time being on highway. i usually get about 230 miles per tank. The average goes up dramatically when on highway. I bet I could see over 300 miles for a tank if i did straight highway. I am no where near stock.

Not sure excactly but I get fair gas mileage. I will be getting a retune next week and then I'll be tracking my mileage. I would suspect about low 20's. I have almost every bolt on w/ stock turbo and cams.

by Far the wost car I have ever owned on gas. I get about 200 miles on a full tank. I have lite mods i guess. Cams, Exhaust, DP Tune some other stuff.. Meh price yah pay I guess but I would not call the evo fuel efficient by any means. Plus the tank is small.
