It's a success story, but that subforum is meant for members' accomplishments. Moved to general efficiency! :P

And, wow, that's quite the jump from the Jetta's highway number.

Just yesterday, Mitsu announced the fuel economy of the Mirage for Canada with a 4.4 L/100 km highway rating. That unseated the Cruze Eco highway rating as the previous best among non-hybrids in Canada. One day later, GM takes it back with Cruze diesel.

I love the competition!
