I've owned 3 M100s all told & currently have two. I scratch my head as to why the Elise, a much lighter car with no turbo, gets poorer gas mileage. Anyone have a true technical answer?

Agree about the brakes. The torque issue however, is easily solved with a 2.5" exhaust.

Lastly, will any owners who switched from an M100 to an Elise give me their thoughts please?
