low reliability and low gas mileage relate to driver.. it's possible to get 26mpg in an evo without breaking it ;)

Dont buy it... really, dont.

Sorry, I know it was only a half hearted attempt but I havent slept in 30+ hours.

With volumetric efficiency, and having a light foot, my friend can pull 300miles out of 1 tank. Tank is only 12 gallons.

Well, thats around 26mpg. But thats when you're hitting the light.

So yea, don't let the turbo and high hp/liter fool you.
