Around 25mpg.

I've the GTS model which has a slighter bigger engine. The regular Lancer is probably about 28mpg or so.

I am always in Quincy / Boston area every weekend because my girlfriend lives in Quincy.

Occasionally I'll be in Burlington area because I've a good buddy lives up there.

Its even rarer to see a Ralliart (04-06) on the streets.. If you do they're most likely an auto..

We should meet up sometime.. when and if i fix my car.

If you install them, I recommend taking the wheels off. I installed mine with the wheels on and it sucked. I had to buy a stubby screwdriver and jack the car up to get enough clearence. I also didn't use the supplied washers but idk if your flaps have them.

Im hoping to swap wheels tomorrow as well since I have a flat. You can use the washers if you want but when I installed my front flaps with the washers I didnt like how noticable they were so I took them off.
