With the lead footed driving (is there any other kind in evo?) how many
miles do you typically get per tank in an unmodified evo?
She drinks 93 octane gas, right?

At the airport I guess :-)
I meant 91 then. I'll pay attention to the labels next time.

My tank is filled with 94.... (25psi and NO knock!)

It all depends on the state/region you live in.

If you have to ask...

A review I have here (L'Automobile Magazine (French), December 2005)
measured an Evo VIII at 37.3 l/100 Km in a track (probably a slow one,
since this is really an high value).

In more normal conditions, values above 20l/100km seem to be quite easy to get.

An maerican test:

price.html
MT observed mpg 18.1 (MR: 16.6; RS: 17.6)

With only 55l in the fuel tank, its autonomy is quite short.

Thank you. I did not notice that part of the spec when I skimmed that
review for the first time.
