mirage is the king of gassers, but under some circumstances the fit can temporarily hang with it. my mirage on that same trip would get in the high 40s. it's worth noting that I drive it 75 mph though at 60mpoh, it would be well into the low 50s.

After sending a letter to Mitsubishi complaining for the long wait finally they authorized a new axle for me. The replacement will be performed this Monday.

for the drop with 43s' . Maybe the T rated get less due to deeper tread and different siping .
I changed out to some 175/65/14 tires from Pep Boys. Futura 2000 LTE tires are what I have in T speed rating. Since I have gotten them, I've seen a drop of about 2 to 3 mpg on average which I don't think is too bad considering these tires are not a LRR tire. I've had them on the car now for about 17,000 miles and they are wearing really nice. So I don't guess my rear alignment is off.

Did you factor in the difference for distance? Use freeway mile markers to verify your odometer accuracy. The drop could be from fewer tire revolutions per mile.
