Saveing Gas?
Now I knew that my MPG wasnt gona be the best ever once i got my evo, but 30+ bucks every 5 days is alot to a 16yr old. Well now here is where my question comes into play.
What are some driving tactics on a stock evo that i could do to keep the MPG up?
Also is there anything I could buy to raise my MPG?
Anything else on this subject would be great too. Thank You

I generally get 26.5 mpg with my EVO with normal driving. For me, normal driving is EASY on the gas, shifting around 2800 rpm, and downshifting when accelerating to maintain between 1200 and 2800 rpm. If you turn over 3200 rpm keep a LIGHT foot. If you hear the wissssssh under the dash, it's all over.

. Keeping it in those low RPMs saves lots of gas, not to mention it makes the ride much smoother. And coast in nuetral; it isn't worth it to use engine breaking; that's just unecessaary wear and tear.
