Firestorm uses less elerium (I think) then avenger and lightning, lightning i think uses marginally less for a shorter distance, I don't understand how everyone has elerium troubles, :eeeeeh: just find an alien base (best if floater/snakeman/muton in that order so no psi) then wait for supply ships, they land, you attack them and boom you get 200 elerium and 4 power sources, no supply ships around, go and attack the base.

In some base maps there is a room containing power sources, instead of killing all the aliens, blow up the power source and manually pick up the elerium, then take whatever you can salvage without blowing up the command centre or killing all the aliens and escape, you get 50 elerium for every pod you pick up, don't forget to take the odd alien corpse and heavy plasma for some pocket money as well.
