The resale value on the lotus is considerably better than the evo.

Are you driving fast all the time to have bad gas mileage? I drive a mix of local and hwy and I'm avg 23-24mpg. Only mod I have is a kn drop in filter and everything else stock.

So I drove about 12-13 miles this weekend to the nearest microcenter store and got about 19.6mpg (I reset the counter before I left the house). Driving was about 80highway (20 street) and it was rising in mpg.

The more fwy mileage you put, the more mpg you get...pretty simple concept yeah? 19-20 is conceivable. It also depends on how heavy your foot is, and your average speed.
