Some efficiency threads from MirageForum.com: aero; 70 mpg contest; 1.0L engine...

Here are some interesting fuel economy threads from MirageForum.com.

-------



Aerodynamics of the new M irage (0.27-0.31 drag coefficient varies with options)

With the Mirage at or near the top of its class for fuel economy in multiple countries, Mitsu has put a spotlight on efficiency by organizing fuel economy/ecodriving competitions and demonstrations. Details, conditions & a couple of videos in these threads. More ...
