Any electric/alterantive fuels being developed? - 5/31/2007 12:03:35 AM    OTO27 Posts: 486 Joined: 2/11/2007 Status: offline I have read about the Evo MIEV: http://paultan.org/archives/2005/08/25/mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-miev/ Most big companies like Toyota and Honda have introduced hybrid models, why has mitsu fallen behind on this? I understand that mitsu is a performance driven automaker, but a nice alterantive fuel or hybrid car wouldnt hurt their sales, specially if they put a "sports" touch to it. What do you guys know or think of the matter?  _____________________________ [image]<a href="http://www.charlieoscardelta.com/sw.php?a=HSJKLHDKJHDDUUIDHJKH&u=20912&m=28668/9999999/cod4animatedwinner.gif"> <img border=0 src="http://www.charlieoscardelta.com/media/banner.pcx" > </a>[/image] Post #: 1

Alot of people steriotype hybrids as being non performers and underpowered cars, if mitsu made a nice sports hybrid, I'm sure it would sell good. _____________________________ [image]<a href="http://www.charlieoscardelta.com/sw.php?a=HSJKLHDKJHDDUUIDHJKH&u=20912&m=28668/9999999/cod4animatedwinner.gif"> <img border=0 src="http://www.charlieoscardelta.com/media/banner.pcx" > </a>[/image] (in reply to RMUDBUGS) Post #: 6

The performance has not changed apart from the fuel consumption has gone down a little. All that was needed was a fuel filter change. What do I use? 100% EN14214 grade Biodiesel. _____________________________ TMD 63 UK 2003 Spacestar 1.9DiD Equipe (in reply to RMUDBUGS) Post #: 8
