Today makes 1 week of ownership. 480 miles. I haven't really done any "joyriding" with the exception of a couple short test drives for colleagues at work and showing it to my parents. But this includes going out to eat a few times and daily errands, etc.
At its best, the evo gets ~19 mpg. At its worst, ~12 mpg. So if I average 15 mpg, which is pretty accurate:
480/15=32 gallons
32 x $3.20/gal = $102.40 saved in gas
Which means (if this stays consistent) every 2 weeks, my gas savings covers the car pmt and insurance, and change left over for electric bill. Weeks 3 and 4 of every month is an extra $100/week in my pocket.
Win.
