    It's been a crazy year, But through all the damage done,
    I have turned and I have learned, To make next year a better one,
    Singing Oh Hallelujah,
    Singing Oh I am home.

    Nice one Isaac, will be interested as to how the 2.4 does on fuel


    I'm thinking about a 2.4 LPG outlander
    BMW E60 525i (3.0) M-Sport.

    The outlander is the 4G69 MIVEC, rather than the 4G64 GDI. I'll let you know on fuel.

    Ok, first point of fuel data...

    I filled it up to the top 2 miles after I bought it. I then drove home, did some puttering to and from town a couple of times, changed oil, drove to and from work, drove most of the way to work and filled up again this morning because I'm off down south this evening.

    187 miles from last fill, and I squeezed in 20.85 litres - that's 40.6mpg.

    280 miles to the light and I thought I was doing well , I managed 26 out of the last tank, must say that is an impressive figure though, I am going to have to sell mine as it is not economical enough , I have bought a Lancer gsr 1800 but will keep the VR-4 till the end of summer, it will be great for camping, can fit 2 kitchen sinks in that
    Help men I'm new

    Isaac,

    I saw an old thread in which you had posted that a higher gear doesn't equal a higher MPG, coming to the conclusion that it was a bit of a myth. In the mitsi manual it states to stay in as high a gear as possible. So, who's right? I'm sure it said somewhere a recommended RPM, around 1750, although looking now I can't see. At 30mph in third my v6 does around 2250 RPM, but in a higher gear like fourth or fifth it drops to around 1000-1250RPM.
    Mitsubishi? They made the planes that bombed Pearl Harbor! I ain't sellin' Hitler's canoe to no traitor! Hop on your sushi-boat and git!

    If you were riding a bike !

    Would the highest gear always be the gear that makes you use the least energy ?
