1.2L CVT avg (70 cars) = 41.2 MPG (US) = 5.7 L/100 km = 49.4 MPG (UK.)
1.0L 5MT avg (03 cars) = 45.1 MPG (US) = 5.2 L/100 KM = 54.2 MPG (UK)
Euro Mirages are doing better.
However, many of the Euro Mirages come with automatic engine stop/start, where the majority of cars in our (mostly North American) database don't. |
Could average highway speeds have something to do with that, however?
What are the 1.0s on Mirage Forum? Euro? Canadian?
Considering the Euro 1.2 is getting economy better than most 1.0s, that kind of matches my experience with the Mirage versus the 1.0 competition... the only 1.0s that match or exceed it locally are the Suzukis, as the Indian (zero star crash rating) Alto is much lighter and the Indian Celerio (better than zero) is just as light but equipped with a good CVT.
