How did it work when you traded in your Lancer for your Ralli-Art?

The Blue Lancer GTS that I originally bought was a used vehicle.

Yea I guess technically my car isn't used, so I don't get the return.

I don't care honestly. I am loving the car, so I will just enjoy it and pay it off and hope it stays reliable.

On a side note, MPG's aren't quite as good as I was hoping. 24.7ish mixed driving, my commute in other words. But with an average speed of 34 or something I guess that isn't bad. Too much time in traffic and stoplights. I am sure it would hit 30's on the freeway if it was road trip style.

Lame that sucks. Well if you like it thats all that matters, especially if you keep it a long time.

MPG is not great though, my Audi gets 26 mixed, Id think that thing would get better!

It's only rated at 29highway, so I am not too disappointed. It can switch to FWD too.

I didn't notice any real improvement in MPG's, nothing astounding, so I just leave it in AWD mode.

I could prolly get an Eco tune for better MPGs if I wanted. I am sure this car is rich as shit like all others from the factory.

They do run rich. Under best case scenario situations, flat road, 65mph, I've seen them get 36 highway.

Isn't it going to run 14.7:1 AFR in closed loop on the highway? Or would you get a lean burn tune? The richness should only apply under high throttle right? Which I would guess doesn't happen a lot in your commute.

An average speed of 32mph...that doesnt seem like too bad of MPGs, not great, but average for an AWD car. Didn't buy it for mpgs thankfully:) the AWD and features and good financing made me pick it

Andrew, you can target a leaner AFR than 14.7 for cruise speeds on most cars, which if I tuned it I would do.
