Owners of the current Lancer,
Need quick info on the fuel efficiency of its 1.6 4G18 engine (I think this goes for the 2003 up to the 2007 Lancer) city/highway driving.
And if you can add up any good or bad experiences with your car.
Thanks!

expect to have poor fuel mileage when acquiring a non-mivec mitsu engine especially automatic tranny, my estimate is around 7-8km/l on city 9-10km/l on highway
they say you can improve your mileage by improving your airflow like installing aftermarket airfilter it should be the right specs for your car with MAF/MAS adaptor

November 21st, 2007 12:12 PM #3AFAIK this is really fuel efficient considering its an SOHC engine rather than a DOHC engine ... mas mababa ng konsumo ng SOHC kaysa DOHC ...
its not 9 to 10 Km/L in highway it morethan that due .. i own a 2004 lancer with 4G18 engine ... mga 12 to 13 km/L sya sa highway

i own 2003 lancer MX. poor fuel efficiency. they say CVT increased mileage due to its gearless transmission. but wahhhhh, it gargles like there's no tomorrow.. around 8 km/li only.

MIVEC technology ain't available with any of the current Lancer's lineup aside the Evo, but that's a totally different car...
It will be available on the 2008 Lancer but there's still this guessing game that Mitsubishi is putting up on releasing it this year. There's even a possibility of it being released here 2009 na...Last edited by Kurusaki; November 24th, 2007 at 03:18 PM. Reason: addendum

My Lancer GLS CVT's odometer is just a little over 5K and i'm hitting 9-10km per liter city driving with aircon on all the time (thats keeping my revs at 2-2.2K rpms) ...at worst where it's really super traffic, it's about 8km a liter...i've only driven once in the expressway (going to tagaytay and back) and i managed 13.5kms a liter and i'm sure the FC will still improve as i approach 10K...i know someone owning a 2006 MX, who made as much as 17km a liter during his long distance drives...yes there are those who make less in terms of mileage (even with other engine-makes which are supposed to be super fuel-efficient) but these guys usually drive aggressively and with a heavy foot..it actually always boils down to the driving styles as well as how one's ride is faithfully maintained or abused ...me i'm happy with my ride but i sure would love to have the mivec!
