Small problem: I don't understand any of it except a few subtitles and slides in the video itself. However! The important stuff -- the results -- are posted in the video description:

Mitsubishi Mirage ..calm outside, wild inside..video from Autozone @ Bali 9 - 12 December 2012. It's about proven the fuel efficiency in reality life and try to Mirage performance..The result 24,8 km/L (MID base) 24,2 km/L (full to full)...about performance..it's still have Mitsubishi character..speed and tough...

24.8 km/L = 4.0 L/100 km = 58.3 mpg (US)
24.2 km/L = 4.1 L/100 km = 56.9 mpg (US)

Safe to assume the A/C was on.

Other Mirage economy runs:

• Mirage economy run Thailand: 31.9 km/L (3.1L/100km, 75 mpg US) 5-spd
• New Zealand Mirage economy run: 3.3L/100 km (30.3 km/L, 71.3 mpg US) CVT

Great find Metro:cool: I hope we will get some road test figures here in Oz when the car has had more time on the ground.

Do you recall seeing mention in one of the Oz reviews about an economy run? I seem to remember the writer mentioning something about the air con button being taped in the "on" position so the competitors couldn't shut it off and cheat. Want to post that one too if the results are included.

No i don't recall that one. I will have to search around and see what i can find.
