This Mitsubishi PHEV advert
« on: 04 December 2014, 22:07:12 »
Does anyone else think it's a bit of a con? It claims that you can get over 100mpg from a huge 4X4, which may or may not be true, but.....it fails to mention that petrol/diesel is not the only fuel you will be paying for. You have to charge it up every night just like Matt's milk float.

It is also an ugly fooker......being almost 'Daewooesque' in appearance. :)

If you want to save fuel / the planet (delete according to your belief system), wouldn't you just not buy a Chelsea Tractor? :-\

All of these, Range Rooney included, are no more than 'posh vans' with windows.

Indeed. A saloon car has now got about as aerodynamically efficient as it's going to be, but no, we need to drive something "sit-up-and-beg" with a huge frontal area and spare wheels, roof bars, etc. hanging off it.  ::)

I need a cube-shaped vehicle to carry my doggie and her wardrobe of coats, towels, bags etc,.
But my point was not about the vehicle, it was about the claim the advert made. While it might have been true that it could obtain xxxxxmpg, there was no mention of cost of electricity.
I may write to the ASA.
Disgruntled of Barnsley.  >:(

Thats surely is going to cost a fortune especially if your on a card meter like me   ;D These charging points around the big cities , do you get to charge your car for free ?  :-\

These SUV's are all pretty homogeneous these days.  If you took the Mitsubishi badge off it could be anything.  ::)

Been through this already. Fueling a Tesla at home for a year costs less than taxing your Omega for a year. Though that does totally ignore the fact that you can fuel the Tesla at Tesla chgarging points free for ever. So it's already saves you the cost of taxing and fueling your Omega.

By the way, it's a £50k+ car from the executive end of the luxury market. The target audience is S Class/7 series drivers, so no point bitching about the price, as you clearly missed the point of it :y

The MPG figures (getting back on topic) are IIRC combined use of the engine and the electric motor thus giving the 100MPG as the engine won't be running constantly but only when needed....

.. and you can bet that the battery was fully charged at the start of their "test" and empty at the end of it. ;)
