Mitsubishi Motors Austria organized an Eco Drive Day with the Space Star 1.0 in Marchfeld (east of the capital Vienna). Six teams had to complete a test track of 96 km. The winner scored 3,20 l / 100 km, other results were 3,46 l / 100 km and 3,55 l / 100 km. The team with 3,94 l / 100 km ended last.

Once again VERY impressive mileage figures. :)
These are the first eco-driving results we've seen for the 1.0L engine, I think. Nice to see Mitsu is still using this approach to promote the car in the latest markets.
talldino: how are you finding these tidbits? I'm not a Facebook user -- are you following some Mitsu FB pages?
A little more context about the event, from the FB page ...
- temperature: ranged from 10-20 degrees C (50 - 68F)
- wind: "brisk" southeast
Too bad we don't know about the route/terrain/average speed.
Some conversions of the results ...

Hi MetroMPG,
No I'm not a Facebook fan. I use www.mitsubishi-motors-europe.com as a starting point and click the countries where they speak and write languages that I more or less understand.
Great results there hope we can find out more details about the drive conditions. Were they manual or cvt transmission?
