There\u2019s much to love about the HS Plus EV and we implore you to consider it when looking to go down the fuel-efficient route. <\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/mgmotor.com.au\/models\/mg-hsplusev\/\" target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discover the MG HS Plus EV<\/a><\/div><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mitsubishi-triton-glx-turbo-diesel\">Mitsubishi Triton GLX Turbo Diesel<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fuel-efficient-cars-mitsubishi-triton.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-346455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fuel-efficient-cars-mitsubishi-triton.jpg 920w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fuel-efficient-cars-mitsubishi-triton-375x250.jpg 375w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fuel-efficient-cars-mitsubishi-triton-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fuel-efficient-cars-mitsubishi-triton-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fuel-efficient-cars-mitsubishi-triton-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fuel-efficient-cars-mitsubishi-triton-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/dmarge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fuel-efficient-cars-mitsubishi-triton-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 400px, (max-width: 640px) 600px, (max-width: 768px) 700px, (min-width: 769px) 800px, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><p><strong>Fuel Economy: <\/strong>8.4L\/100km<br><strong>Price: <\/strong>from $38,940 Driveaway<\/p>                <div class=\"row row-center collapse\">\n                    <div class=\"column\">\n                        <div class=\"dmg-ad\"><div id=\"incontent-1593829668\" class=\"ad-container\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var load_26789367 = function () {googletag.cmd.push(function () {var slot_26789367 = googletag.defineSlot(\"\/1017963\/DMarge\/incontent\",[[250,250],[300,100],[300,250],[320,100],[336,280]],\"incontent-1593829668\").addService(googletag.pubads()).setTargeting('refresh', 'true');if (gamData && gamData.sizeMap && gamData.sizeMap.hasOwnProperty('incontent')) {slot_26789367.defineSizeMapping(gamData.sizeMap['incontent']);}googletag.display(\"incontent-1593829668\");});};adsQueue.push(load_26789367);<\/script><\/div><\/div>                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <p>Ok, so the Mitusbishi Triton GLX TD isn\u2019t <em>the <\/em>most fuel-efficient car ever, or on this list, but as far as utes go, it\u2019s up there with the most economial.
