How Hard do you drive you're EVO?
I drive my Evo very gently. I always shift at 2500-3000RPM.
Except for yesterday. I was going to lunch, and my co-worker and I were both pulling up to a red light. He then makes a right and busts a U-turn to get past the light. Of course he and the rest of the guys are making faces and laughing at me and my passengers as we're sitting at the light. So when the light turned green, I freakin' floored it and just took off, shifting at about 6000RPM, which I wouldn't ever do unless I'm on the track (in which case it would be somewhere around 7100RPM).
He told me that he was very frightened at how fast my car was gaining on him between the two light. I felt really stupid about doing that on a city street (though completely empty, non-residential), and will never do it again.

The point I'm trying to make is, the car can take the abuse of hard driving, as long as you don't get stupid with your driving style/skills.

you get 19-20mph boosting around town all the time?
i get 16mph at best when im beating on it for most of the tank. I do find myself wasting gas going out of my way just to follow some car that looks like it might wanna play....and 9 times outa 10, they don't play.
