Mitsubishi is nearly ready to join North America’s nascent all-electric parade. The 2012 Mitsubishi i will be available sometime early next year, and the automotive world has been speculating on the type of electron-powered economy one can expect to achieve when behind the wheel. The speculators can take a break because the EPA has finally released its ratings for the Mitsubishi i.

How does a mile per gallon equivalent of 126 city and 99 highway sound? That’s a combined MPGe rating of 112. The EPA also subjected the 2012 i to its LA4 driving test, also known as the city test. This subjects the vehicle to numerous starts and stops, as one would encounter when cruising through town. The electric four-door achieved a max cycle range of 98 miles.

From an efficiency standpoint, the 2012 Mitsubishi i stacks up nicely against its electricity-drinking competition. The Tesla Roadster 2.5 has a 119 MPGe combined rating while the Nissan Leaf sports a rating of 99 MPGe combined.

here are some user review on Hyundai Sonata

Pros: Styling, fuel economy, quiet ride

Bought this car to replace my beloved ’02 Grand Prix being handed down to the kids. I really dreaded trying to replace it, but knew the time had come. The Sonata wasn’t even on the radar when starting our search thru the Camry, Maxima, Altima field. When we drove by our local Hyundai dealer, one was prominantly displayed on the corner of the lot, and both the wife and I had to do a double-take, as we had never even noticed one on the road before, but this was one sharp looking car. Test drove it, and for the price, we were extremely impressed. I’ve owned the car for 8 months/12k miles and still love it. Some days I still miss the pickup of the grand prix, but I love the 40 mpg I can get when I stick to 60 mph on the highway. Easy on the eyes, and easy on the wallet, both off the lot and at the pump (of course that’s all relative in today’s market). Hyundai Sonata
