Same story with my RX8. Worse gas mileage than the Evo and much slower. Of course, the fact that engines were failing en-mass weighed into the decision too.

$5.05/gal for 91 Octane in Toronto area, Ontario, Canada at the cheaper stations.
$4.69 for regular.

I don't put very many miles on my vehicles with a short commute and everything being closer to home. The financial impact is minor to me but I have seen used Evo X prices drop slightly since the beginning of the year. A lot of the same MRs have been sitting on dealer's lots since last summer. All the more reason to keep an Evo for the long haul and drive it into the ground with a smile on your face.

Paying 5.35 per gallon in New Brunswick Canada. I take a bicycle to work (8 miles) and enjoy the fuel for when I do use the car ( wish I had an X). Glad I have a Ralliart on trips though

i dont know if you guys know it. a website called shopperdiscountsandrewards. it's a webiste that give you cashback when you make purchase through their links to the merchants. also, every month you can buy $100 (4 cards, $25 each) worth gas card for $80. me and my girlfriend have an account, so totally we can have 8 cards every month. but you gotta pay for the membership, $12 per month. and if you make a purchase via their website and send them your purchase confirmation, you can have $10 back. so it's like $2 for the membership. so actually you are paying $82 for the $100 gas cards every month. not bad for me cuz it save me a few bucks

I have three vehicles. My Evo, an s2000 and an old pick up truck. I find myself managing all three of them for daily drives but man does it suck having to fill them all the same week. It's like 150$ in gas. The S and the Evo both require 93 octane but I put **** gas in my truck. If I solely DD my truck I can go for about 2.5 weeks for 50$. I am not complaining but it does suck. I do enjoy every second of my drive in my nice cars though.

When I bought my sports cars gas was lower priced and I was making a whole lot more money. Sad thing is that I am surviving not thriving. It's weird saying that I am only surviving with 2 really nice cars but they are both paid off. they also get taken off insurance for 4 months of the year to save money (and gas).

Gas prices - finally a reason to be happy about living in NJ. They just started filming Jersey Shore 5 blocks from me - the smell of fish is disgusting.

I daily drive my Evo...I know the consequences of doing so - I never let my tank get to the 1/4 mark, so I fool myself into thinking that I don't spend too much on gas (although I make more trips to the gas station but at least it's on the way home!)
