MPG

What sort of mpg do you get from your Evo's? I used to get about 22-25 knocking about in the scoob, But becuse of the smaller tank on the Evo it seems to drain away!!!! I have yet to drive it normally because I have only had it a week and the acceleration is just so so infectious.

P.S I'm not bothered how little it does as I only do about 4.5k a year, but it would be nice to know. Cheers.

Mine, estimate high speed run on full tank can go as far as 220+km . It is not as thirsty as my X Mitsu 3000GT Twin Turbo :P

I have found that since the fitment of the Autronics ECU my car uses les fuel when on long runs and also when giving it some.

The standard ECU and Ralliart Sports ECU (which I had fitted before the Au) have poorer part throttle mapping which results in poor fuel consumption when driving around town/motorway journeys.

Many people I have spoken to with the same mappable ECU have reported similair findings, its win win

* Switchable anti lag
* No more problems with VTA BOVs
* No flat spot when coming off WOT throttle in 5th due to the SAS (secondary air source) as its no longer used
* No more MAF sensor
* Temp sensor so ECU can back off the map if temp is hot
* The ECU can control the boost
