    Will be interested to hear how much the fuel economy increases when towing.
    Diesel vs petrol is pretty much even steven for general running about, but petrols seem to start sucking the gas when towing, whereas a lot of diesels hardly increase much at all.

    Check out some forums about running the mitsi and see what service interval people are doing and what oil, engine and gearbox.
    A lot of folk tend to do much more frequent oil changes than recommend, especially if doing a fair bit of towing.
    Some manufactures have drawn out the service intervals to meet environmental specifications, very common for transmissions to be "sealed for life" but benefit from regular (ish) oil changes.
