What the Mitsubishi Eclipse sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the Eclipse, latest tested year 2012:
The label also prints an estimated $3,275 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 421 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Eclipse under Subcompact Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the Eclipse's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1990 to 2012. Worth checking before you compare a Eclipse sticker from one year with another:
The figure actually fell by 2 mpg across the span — usually a sign of added weight or power. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
What a used Eclipse sells for now
The label froze the Eclipse price on the day it left the factory; the market has moved since, and this is where it landed: median asking price of the Eclipse by model year, from 49 live US listings:
| Model year | Median asking price | Sample |
|---|---|---|
| 2008 | 8 listings | |
| 2007 | 30 listings | |
| 2006 | 11 listings |
A 2008 Eclipse asks a median $2,995 today, a 2006 about $1,600. Full breakdown on the Mitsubishi Eclipse value page.

Where to find the VIN on a Mitsubishi Eclipse
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Eclipse, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Mitsubishi Eclipse all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Mitsubishi Eclipse whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
