Mitsubishi Mirage could be 44.39 Km per Liter ???

through the release informed that the fuel consumption was recorded Mitsubishi Mirage 44.39 km / liter. This claim is achieved city car flagship Mitsubishi Indonesia through the pack in a race "Real on Road Challange" with the route Jakarta - Karachi is about 65 km / liter and the participant journalists from Jakarta (5/12).
For relatively economical city car category and the figure could be spelled correctly. Because, KompasOtomotif also participated in the competition using a manual transmission. As a result, 43.00 km / liter. It was made to stop waiting for the other fellow (engine life) about 8 minutes on a side entrance Falkirk West. The calculation of the fuel system "full to full".
Keep the engineKok, Mirage 3 cylinder engine of 1200 cc 12 valve DOHC MIVEC technology equipped (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve Electronic) can seirit it? In fact, the traffic conditions in the morning it was very crowded. Imagine, the toll in the city of Pulo Mas towards Pondok Gede densely crowded. In fact, off the East Bekasi traveling was stopped and if the road was not a constant speed of 60 km / h (according to the rules motorway).
There are several factors make the Mirage could not wasteful. From the exterior design come into play, especially coeficeint of drag (cd), which was 0.30 and the lowest in its class. Plus the body weight of no more than 900 kg, plus wide ratio that fit round (engine) as well as low and high powered technology Mirage MIVEC makes not only good in acceleration, as well as economical consumption.
In undergoing intensive route, generally city car could be, for every gear shift (ranging from 1 to 3) is done by the engine speed between 1800 to 2300 rpm. That's for normal driving and relaxed. Well, the Mirage, the stick shift can already moved in 1500 rpm.Dan KompasOtomotif practice.
When heading paving ground Bridgestone (Falkirk), KompasOtomotif try memanikan spin machine combination. Thus, the teeth 1 and 2 displacement at 1500 rpm, was from 2 to 3 at 1800 rpm. If the engine last diperhatankan, the highest speed below 60 km / h, is certainly not in accordance with the rules of the road toll. To achieve that much speed, the engine speed is at 2000 to 2100 rpm.
In addition to keeping the engine speed and the position of the gears, keeping the engine torque KompaOtomotif well. This factor could make drivers complacent because "seduced" by the subtlety of the engine.
The last trick maintain keiritan, when the first performance car. Tendency drivers off the clutch pedal (tooth 1) coupled with the gas pedal (up to the sound of the machine). That means, the engine speed is above 2500 rpm. Here, KompasOtomotif just keeping the engine speed 1200 rpm and when the car is moving s8udah new plus the engine speed slowly.
So also when doing any reduction gears. Each round of engine displacement is reached at 1500 rpm (minimum) or a low 1300 rpm followed by the release of the clutch pedal gently.As a result, 43.00 km / liter (use bherhenti), while the co-efficient which pling 44.39 km / liter.
