However, I can understand if littlemoule has nothing to compare their Mirage driving experience with and can't make a decent judgement as to how it is driving.
Yeah, if you've only ever felt 50 of the 74 neck snapping horse power then look out!
I'm pretty sure I managed 30ish mpg on the trip I took the other week. That's loaded with about 900-1200lbs worth of crap in it, probably 6hrs of idling, just all around worst case scenario except the weather was pretty good for 3/4 days.
My turd still has the factory cat at 312,000km/193k miles. I often see them start to throw efficiency codes around 300k km. Maybe beating the snot out of it there just cleaned it out and bought me some more time lol They clean diesel particulate filters by putting them in some overpowered oven, so it's basically the same thing...
