However, the real world fuel economy is poor compared to the 1.0 Mirage.

Mitsubishi Mirage - 4.95 l/100km

Hyundai I10 - 5.88 l/100km

Hence the Hyundai i10 is burning 19% more fuel in the real world compared to the Mitsubishi Mirage 1.0.

Vehicle Mass and poor aero are the culprits.

The lightest i10 version is some 88 kG heavier than the Mirage 1.0.

I own an I10. Won it in a lottery

It is my wife's DD; it only does local trips, so its FE is abominable.
Also, it kinda invites a heavy foot, and my wife responds well to the call
