As long as you got an evo with a stock clutch, daily driving is a breeze, traffic or no traffic.

I had a '99 M6 C5 when I bought my Evo as a daily driver...Evo was too much fun, sold the C5 a few months ago and got another daily driver and have the Evo as the toy now!

I don't know I would still get an Evo. I get only about 200miles on a full tank and it is my DD everyday. I drive a good 50miles a day atleast to and from work. I was told I should get better gas mileage if I get a tune. I think the ecu flash did something. I don't know. Get an Evo VIII though!!!

The most I have ever gotten was 275 on a full tank when I drove on straight highway long distance.

A good tune should improve your gas mileage a little.

But really, how can you complain about gas when you bought an Evo?

Pretty sure turbo charged car + premium gas = you should know what your getting into.

Yea you will definitely waste gas if you are always boosting around like crazy. I only take it to 5lbs to 10lbs and rarely take it all the way to 20lbs unless I am f*cking around.
