MirageForum Fuel Log stats: 19 Mirages, averaging 42 MPG, 17.9 km/L, 5.6 L/100 km

It's fair to say that Mitsubishi was conservative with its ratings for this car.
Imagine the amount of advertising that Mitsubishi could do if the EPA numbers were on par with the real EPA numbers!

I always expect to get 3-4 more MPG , but the amount this does is crazy!
