Thanks for all the feedback..

What's the actual mileage you get with different driving conditions
Mitsubishi claim is 3.2L/100km

The 3.2L/100km is a fake number as every PHEV consumption report.

Any PHEV does consume 0L/100km until it drive in EV mode

So .. if people do 40km and then recharge the battery .. it is possible to make 0L/100km even for long trip

In practice these 3.2L/100km it is the consumption seen using some standard that have been designed for normal ICE car.

My PHEV on motorway does as bad as 10L/100km ... this happen at speed around ~135km/h when the battery is "empty" .. anyhow .. above 130km/h ICE kick in anyhow .. at 120km/h I think only the first 30km can be done in pure EV mode .. so any trip longer then 30km on motorway will cause relative high consumption if this is done with speed above 120km/h

Definitely not the perfect car for German autobahns

Here it is not about L/100 km, but Le/100 km. So, the "liters of fuel" equivalent of the amount of energy used to travel 100 km. Even in EV mode, that number will not be 0.

The claimed L/100 km figure (1.9 for earlier models and 1.8 today, IIRC) is not fake either. It assumes that you drive 52 km in EV mode and then another 25 km in hybrid mode to reach the next charging station. The claimed number is the weighed average: (0 l/100km * 52 km + 5.8 l/100km * 25 km ) / 77 km.

BTW: the 25 km is not something that Mitsubishi came up with but is defined in (NEDC?) standards.
