Re: thinking of selling my car

Yep, I was about right on for MPG. I dont see a benefit for getting a "fast" suv, they are useless. Put your car back to stockish, reliable mode and drive it daily like everyone else with evos do on here.

And is anyone else having trouble reading anything that the OP types? lol

Sorry to bubble burst
Sorry if this sounds like I am being a dick. So you got your car for the gas mileage and not because its a evo.

.

Doesnt sound like your being a dick... just very confusing.....

I posted that information becuase you had posed you didnt think the mpg of a SS or SRT8 would be as bad as previously estimated by A///guy... Just wanted to help inform you that they are as bad as he had estimated.....

And no I didnt buy me evo for the mpg... (have gotten 27mpg though...) I DD my Evo and have had zero issues with it... yes it has a much more stock set up than you but i still have my fun... I Bought my gfs Mini Cooper S as a fun car that still gets great MPG!

I vote get your car tuned and enjoy it for the summer and then see what you think...

Thanks for the info on the jeep and the SS. I was thinking that They got better gas mileage then that.
