XEDE, turn down down the boost, or stop standing on the throttle.
I get about 250-275 miles on 12 gallons in this Evo right now, and it's still stock. I'll be modified in a couple of weeks, and I should be seeing better MPG at that time. I'll let you know what all I did and what my new figures are (WHP/WTQ/MPG for both stock and modified) when I am done.

I wish I could see 275... The best I got was 260 and then I put in 13 gal, so it was pretty empty! I drove like a granny to get that...
You can see my mods below and even when I drive sloly (almost never) I still can't break the 250 mile per tank mark!!!! I drive 20 miles each way to work, mostly highway so I should be getting better mileage than someone driving in stop and go miles.

This won't really help you in city driving or during normal "daily" driving.

have fun with this one. i think that the evo wasnt made for long trips.what i do is leave the a/c off, stay around 3k rev, and try to stay in the same speed. and with all that i got around 295 miles and that was about 1/8 away from E
