Basic Endeavors were front-drive, with all-wheel drive being an option. Between 2004 and 2007, the Endeavor’s fuel consumption numbers strayed little from the 2004 ratings of 13. 7 L/100 km (city) and 9. 4 L/100 km (highway) for a front-drive model. Choosing all-wheel drive didn’t affect city consumption significantly, which increased to about 14 L/100 km, but highway consumption increased to 10. 1 L/100 km. Despite the Endeavor’s rather modest power output – at least by current standards –... There’s a fairly lengthy discussion on this topic in the Endeavor forum at Mitsubishi-Forums.
