    Official fuel consumption

    Hey folks!

    I am in desperate need of some official paper (data sheet from Mitsubishi, brochure, ... anything with a Mitsubishi logo on it) that lists fuel consumption for a Galant VR-4 with manual transmission. The only thing I was able to find was the Galant Range brochure from 1999 by humpty, but it only lists the auto transmission :/

    Searching for hours now. Does anybody have a clue where I could find something like this? Even a japanese brochure would be fine as long as it is clear that the fuel consumption is for the VR-4 with manual transmission. Need it for the revenue office as I need to pay taxes with that values and having those values could make a huge difference .. Asking the local Mitsubishi dealer didn't bring me further as well. He couldn't tell me anything because the car was not available here.

    Thanks in advance!

    I've never seen that anywhere. But I haven't needed to know it. If it isn't in the documentation area then I wouldn't know where else to look.

    Too bad thought of something like this: https://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showth...(Includes-Vr4). But this only contains the automatic one :/

    I've had a look and the only thing I have found so far is a press release that said 17.2l/100km but that also looked like it was for the auto too.

    I found that one too. And after some research I think it's a mistake. Found a japanese Super VR-4 brochure and it says "Fuel consumption at 60 km/h: 17.2km/l" which would be roughly 6l/100km while going 60 km/h ~ 37mph. Maybe they messed that one up .5.JPG

    I also contacted Mitsubishi Europe but they said they cannot help me. I will try to get through it with the values from autoevolution.com. Maybe they accept it.

    Thanks for the help!

    FYI catalogue is for facelift model (August 1998). Fuel consumption is highlighted in red on the right hand side.

    Oblivion that looks amazing. I am sure this will satisfy them I will let you know if it had worked out in two weeks or so (when I have time to get to the revenue office).

    €dit: Yesterday I paid the taxes and registered my VR4 . The lady at the revenue office didn't even bother about it... Looks like she took the values from the european V6 with 160 hp as the VR4 engine cannot be in that list. It was quite cheap (981 Euros, 16 % of the rated price, which should have been 27 percent from my calculations). Nevertheless: thank you a lot for your help!
