Even if you baby it and drive like grandma....keep in vacuum all the time....completely defeating the purpose of having an EVO I know. When I had an SRT the gas mileage was horrible it because a game to try and get 300 miles out of one tank. between that and the 11 gallon tank it was almost impossible. I think I hit over 300miles twice

EVO gets twice the gas mileage of Prius!
Since our small fleet consists of my EVO and Mrs Jim In Tucson's Prius, I feel qualified to make this test.
This is an apples to apples comparison of our 2nd generation Prius bought new in 2004 with my '03 EVO VIII bought used in 2006. Both cars are used for the same type of in-town driving, lots of short errands, etc . My wife's office is in our home and my office is just three miles down the street. Neither of us use the freeway.
Wifey consistently averages 47mpg in the Prius. Bone stock. Silver-the fastest color! No mods. Wingless.
My '03 EVO VIII... Silver-the fastest color! A few mods. Wingless. ...I switched to E85 in July '08. Since then it averages a fairly consistent 13.9 mpg.
Whoa, you're saying. Jim, that does not sound better than the Prius.
Think about it. Title of this thread says "gas" mileage, not fuel mileage. Remember, E85 is only 15% gas and 85% renewable ethanol.
You need 6.66 gals of E85 to have one gallon of gasoline. So, my EVO is getting 93 miles out of every single gallon of gasoline.
Prius = 47 mpg of gasoline
E85 EVO = 93 mpg of gasoline
The moral of the story: you can drive a fast car and still make a small carbon footprint.
So, next time you see someone in a Prius, stick your head out the window and yell at them to stop wasting gas and buy an EVO!
