Gas mileage tends to vary.
if driven gently, the Elise will get like 25 in the city, 32+ highway., maybe even more.
BUT that's the first problem, it's nearly impossible to drive gently, the car screams to be revved up.
Even if you obey the law and drive at the posted speed limits, you'll be tempted at every red light to feel the rush to get to that speed limit! (or a lil bit faster than that).

As for the Eagle performance, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I imagine that it'll perform comparably to the Elise - just bigger and more luxurious inside to better appeal to buyers who're turned off on the small-ness of the Elise.
