how did you check the fuel cap? Did you put it on a pressure tester? or did you just glance it over? A loose cap can throw an evap code because of the fuel gas evapoprating into the air instead of the evap canister. Try buying a new cap, theyre only like 10 bux...

so just buying a new cap will solve the problem?because that guy said i should do some replace elctronic things, also he said that i should check the fuel sensors sine i got a very very bad gas milage

Is it that the code is still in the car? Cause just tightening the gas cap won't make the light go off. You need to clear the code.
