1992 Mitsubishi 3000 GT: the full review

The 1992 3000 GT pairs a 3.0 L six-cylinder engine with front-wheel drive and a four-speed automatic. Its listed 18 MPG combined and $4,550 annual fuel cost are central to weighing fuel use.

Overview

The 1992 Mitsubishi 3000 GT is listed as a gasoline-powered car with a 3.0 L six-cylinder engine, a four-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Its EPA class is Subcompact Cars. The official fuel-economy figures are 16 MPG city, 22 MPG highway and 18 MPG combined.

The EPA lists annual fuel cost at $4,550 and tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions at 493.72 grams per mile. Those figures provide useful reference points when comparing fuel use and operating costs, though the annual cost is the listed EPA estimate rather than an individual driver's bill.

Key features

Powertrain and layout

The listed configuration pairs a 3.0 L six-cylinder gasoline engine with a four-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. These specifications identify the vehicle's basic drivetrain without implying additional equipment or performance details.

Fuel economy and emissions

At 16 MPG in city driving and 22 MPG on the highway, the combined rating is 18 MPG. The city figure is lower than the highway figure, while the combined number offers one simple basis for comparing the listed fuel economy with other vehicles. Tailpipe CO2 is recorded at 493.72 g/mi.

Who it's for

This 3000 GT listing is most useful to buyers who want to compare a gasoline car's stated fuel economy, drivetrain and EPA annual fuel-cost estimate. Its 18 MPG combined rating and $4,550 annual fuel cost make fuel consumption an important point to weigh in a running-cost comparison. The available figures do not establish maintenance costs, insurance costs or a particular owner's actual fuel spending.

For someone comparing vehicles by powertrain layout, the listing also makes the front-wheel-drive configuration and automatic transmission explicit. EV shoppers can use the gasoline fuel type as a clear distinction when weighing it against electric options, but the facts here do not provide an electric range or charging information.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • The city, highway and combined EPA ratings are all stated, making fuel-economy comparisons straightforward.
  • The engine, transmission and drive layout are specified.
  • An EPA annual fuel-cost figure and tailpipe CO2 figure are available for ownership-cost and emissions comparisons.

Cons

  • The combined rating is 18 MPG, with a city rating of 16 MPG.
  • The listed EPA annual fuel cost is $4,550, a substantial operating-cost consideration for buyers focused on fuel spending.
  • The available specifications do not provide purchase pricing, equipment details, reliability information or broader ownership costs.

Its $4,550 annual EPA fuel-cost estimate and 493.72 g/mi tailpipe CO2 figure are central considerations for buyers comparing running costs. The available facts support a focused fuel-economy and specification comparison, but not a broader judgment about price, equipment or reliability.
