On the previous model, the CH, the 2.4L is thirstier, as is the version in automatic. No mivec though, on that model.
The base 2.0L manual is probably the best on fuel with both the CH and CJ models, but you would have to do some research to get actual numbers for the CJ to compare.

Oops!
Ordered an air filter for the 2004 Lancer, seeing it was a 'bit' over the due replace km (72,000 versus 45,000 recommended).
Turned out to be the wrong one, so reordered. Hope it helps.
