Evo 8 bad MPG!!!
hey guys I drive a 2005 Evo 8 with the following mods megan manifold, hks carbon ti exhaust, injen piping all around and injen intake. I'm getting 250 on a full tank without boosting at all is that normal. btw the car is on stock maps. I haven't tuned it yet. Do you think that is the reason why I'm getting horrible mpg if i boost i get 200mpg for a car that is merely stock.

I would say that is normal for being on stock maps. Stock runs very rich so after you get tuned you should see a little bump in mileage. I see your in Houston, is it cold there now because cold weather also decreases mpg. Im in NY and its below freezing and my mpg sucks balz

Sounds about right for mixed city/highway. It seems like the gas light comes on so early in my car. Every time I fill up the pump stops at around 10.5 gallons. I believe the tank is around 13.5-14 gallons. I usually get about 250 miles before I fill up my tank with 10 gallons. 250miles/10.5gallons=~24mpg mixed with some hard driving, I have similar mods+tune.
Anyone else's gas light come on super early like mine?
