2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT MPG?

Asked by miketherex Jun 22, 2012 at 05:53 AM about the 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT

Question type: General

I just sold my 1999 v6 Mustang, and I am looking to buy a faster, more fuel efficient, and probably Japanese car. I am seriously considering an 02 GT Eclipse. It seems reasonably quick, but does it get good gas mileage? I want real drivers' and owners' opinions. Please respond soon! Thank you.

It should probably get close to 30 mpg going down the highway. I averaged about 24mpg with my 03 GTS. Comming from a mustang you may be slightly disappointed. then again maybe not

I have a 2002 v6 gt. She gets 27 mpg. I absolutely love my car. It's 10+ years old, has 258,000+ miles and still am lucky enough to not have had to fix anything big... Just a few small things here and there. I highly recommend.

With your 3.0L v6 you will get 18 city and 26 hwy.

This car is not Japanese. It was made in Normal, Illinois. If the vin does not begin with a J, then it's not from Japan. Sorry, still a good little car.
