The current Mitsubishi Lancer covers up to 1,135 km on a full tank, based on combined-cycle consumption. Figures below are the best-range variant in each generation.
| Years | Powertrain | Range |
|---|---|---|
| 1979–1984 | Combustion | 602 |
| 1984–1988 | Combustion | 750 |
| 1988–1993 | Combustion | 847 |
| 1994–1996 | Combustion | 820 |
| 1996–2001 | Combustion | 725 |
| 2003–2005 | Combustion | 735 |
| 2007–2011 | Combustion | 1,135 |
Range is calculated from each variant’s fuel tank capacity and combined-cycle consumption (tank ÷ consumption × 100), for the best-range variant in each generation — real-world range varies with driving style and conditions. Figures outside a plausible range for the tank size are excluded.
