To be honest I think 16 mpg that I get is probably the worst it can get... at least for me

I have XLS model, I have it set to 4x4 Auto, I drive over 60 mph, I accelerate at each intersection quickly... Personally, I thinkthis car is meant to be "manly" driven. I didn't buy it to see how great of gas mileage I can get out of it. For that I would've gotten a hybrid and **** off ever other driver out there with my slow driving in order to save pennies on gas... So, if 16 mpg is the best I can get with my driving so be it... although I'll probably start riding a bus sooner or later. (want to lose a few pounds )

 

Hi Klas!
Nice to see that I get twice as far per gallon by not driving as "manly" (the engine being a diesel may also contribute, of course ... .
I have an Instyle model (XLS?), have it mostly set to 2WD, try to accelerate smoothly (still without pissing off anyone with slow driving). At my place fuel cost over $8 per gallon, so I'm not saving pennies (15000miles per year saves me $3600 compared to you).

Here is my consumption for the first five fillings:

Where do I get those wheels?

 

I guess that they are only being sold in Europe, but you can check with your Mitsu-resaler if they are able to get a set of them.

Size is 18 inches and part number should be MZ556480EX

 

08 ES 4WD mostly left in 4WD mode i get 25mpg 80% city and 20% highway.

 

I have an 08 ES with 1,000 miles on it.

On a recent 500 mile roundtrip from Phoenix,AZ to Laughlin Nevada I got 27 mpg. So far my city driving is round 19.5 mpg.
