The good folks over at Mitsubishi i are sponsoring a cool giveaway for Planetsave readers. You have a chance to win:
- a $200 Whole Foods Gift Certificate,
- some Flip & Tumble Reusable Bags, and
- a Pure Balance Water Bottle.
Before telling how you can enter to win this prize package, however, let me tell you a few things about the Mitsubishi i that might surprise you….
If you’re not familiar with the Mitsubishi i (or i-MiEV), it’s a new electric vehicle (EV) with a tremendous MPGe rating and a surprisingly affordable price tag. Here are some of its key details and awards:
- 112 combined MPGe!
- EPA’s fuel economy leader / most efficient car in production
- 100% electric
- ‘The Greenest Vehicle of 2012′, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy
- net MSRP* after the federal tax credit = $21,625 for the standard ES model (note that state and city EV tax credits may also be available to you, and note that you’d save some serious cash in operation costs driving this vehicle compared to a conventional gasoline-powered vehicle)
- net MSRP* after the federal tax credit = $23,625 for the SE version
We’ve written about the i-MiEV several times over on sister site CleanTechnica in recent months, if you want to learn more of the details.
You can also find a Mitsubishi i dealer near you or schedule a test drive today to get an even closer look at the vehicle.
And, of course, you can keep a close eye on the Mitsubishi i Facebook page, its Twitter feed, the Mitsubishi i channel, or CleanTechnica for the latest news on this pioneering EV.
Whole Foods / Mitsubishi i Giveaway
Now, the part you’ve been waiting for: how do you enter the giveaway?
To enter, just do the following two things:
- Drop a comment on the post telling us what you think is most awesome about the i-MiEV, or even why you might be buying one!

The giveaway will close at 11:59pm on June 13, and I will randomly pick and announce the winner on June 14.
*Includes federal tax credit of up to $7500. Retail MSRP of ES starts $29,125 and SE starts at $31,125

p.s. I heart whole foods
The 112 MPG is unbelievable. This has to be the BADDEST green machine out there. I’m lovin it.
I like that it’s “most efficient car in production” and “100% electric”. It’s fascinating to see what the world comes up with.
We just bought an i last week, and I really love it. Quiet, smooth, efficient, fun, and less expensive than any other EV available NOW.
Awesome! Great to hear!! 😀 If you happen to want to write up a guest post on the car, would love to have it. 😀
I love that it’s GREEN & affordable!
I also tweeted here – https://twitter.com/chellesyvonne/status/213075570391650304
I would have to say the tax credit you get is the best thing for making a eco choice..good incentive. I shared via twitter with the link here: https://twitter.com/SweepstakesBeau/status/213051773512974336
It’s a good, inexpensive car, with even better, less expensive fuel!

Love the MPGe!!
I would love to buy one for driving to work daily and for running errands. It’s electric and that is so cool and no emissions.
This would be a great way for me to commute to and from work.

112 combined MPGe! That’s UNREAL and AMAZING!!!
I love the idea of electric vehicles. I have heard they have 100$ torgue at all speeds and they can really excelerate. Friends who have driven one say they are amazing in the way they handle. If you love the feel of driving, you will love the way an electric vehicle compares to a dirty energy car that is sloppy.
** oops I meant 4 DOOR 🙂
There is a lot to love about this car! The savings over time would have to be my favorite, but I like that it is 4 day and still pretty spacious at times (so a good option for parents with kids in tow.)
This car seems amazing in all aspects, but I really like the looks of it!

Have to love the mileage equivalent.
What’s not to like with 112 combined MPGe and being the EPA’s fuel economy leader and most efficient car in production that is 100% electric you can see why it was chosen as ‘The Greenest Vehicle of 2012′, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy. The cost is reasonable, and I would consider buying one. I want a solar charging station in my driveway as well.
I like the fact that it’s 100% electric! TY!
https://twitter.com/donnatony/status/212404642187980801
It has a tremendous MPGe rating!
I think the i-MiEV is awesome because it 100% electric and I always buy things that are eco friendly!
My tweer: https://twitter.com/theimaginetree/status/212347254093258752
I love that it’s the Greenest car of 2012!
It looks great
Looks nice, green.
The price should be about $15K MSRP for that size…
I think the mileage, especially with the cost of gas these days, is pretty much the deal breaker for everyone, including yours truly! Thats why I would love to own this car.

Please answer directly because I would love to enter this!
How do I share this to facebook or anywhere else without the widgets to do so?
we had a very short-term issue with our sharing plugins, but they are back now. if they were gone though, all you would have to do is copy the url and paste it into a status update on your facebook page. Or do the same on Twitter or Google+.
right after my first reply, our plugins were put back on, so i edited that first reply to reflect that (just in case you saw the first comment first). 😀
I like the size of it. It would be easy to load and unload groceries and such. Good price and economical to run. It looks like it would be fun to drive!
I like the price, MPG, and value of this vehicle!

green and economical, plus the price
There is nothing I like more than to see companies helping to save the planet. I’m big into cutting back, conserving and recycling. Americans are so spoiled with big vehicles and using as much gas as they want without ever thinking of the consequences. We have the “do it and think about it later” attitude, as long as I’m happy. It’s that attitude and lifestyle that has gotten us into the mess we are in.

The price is actually one of the best features – I really thought
electric cars were much more expensive. the savings on gasoline
would be great considering gas prices these days
The savings on gas would be awesome.
I love the look, plus the fuel economy is amazing!

Looks very economic and would love to have to drive to work! Nice design!!!
Well Green is very important to conserve the inviroment. The i-MIEV is just the thing to lower the Carbon footprint and save on fuel and other resources. Thanks Mitsubishi for all the hard work done to bring this great car to market!
This car is adorable, and the moneynI could save on gas is incredible! Definitely sharing this!
Being 100% electric is the MiEV best feature. With gas being so expensive.
Love it – electric – savings on gasoline!
very economical
MPG is import
I like the fact of the MPG but I also like that it can transport more than 2 people

THe fuel efficiency would be the most cool feature for us! My husband commutes to a military base out of town each day and we are looking to find ways to save money on gas. I also shared via Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter! Thanks!
Fuel saving and a very fun, unique design…..
112 MPGe sounds awesome to me!

MPG is import as much as gas cost and i would love it for the reason
The best feature is the great savings on gasoline.
best feature has to be that whopping MPG!
Wait .. is this already available? I haven’t seen any in California .. This would give the Prius a run for its money!
https://twitter.com/#!/CapitalistDesi
Available this month. 😀
I actually didn’t know about this car. Mitsubishi has been quiet lately .. though their cars are pretty decent. When is this available in the US?

The gas savings is pretty cool! I shared on Twitter.
I think that the 112 combined MPGe is awesome!
thank you
That’s awesome that it is totally electric!
Shared on Twitter here’s the link https://twitter.com/ErinRok/status/208374450276671488
The most awesome thing has to be that it has a $7500 tax credit, on top of all the money you would be saving on gas, that its a pretty amazing deal!

112 mpg???? Wow. I do a lot of little short trips- and I’m spending more and more money on gas lately. This little car would be awesome!!!!!!
Totally 😀
The price seems really great for an electric car – my friend from
college has an electric car and I believe he paid much more than that for it – That federal tax credit is good.
imagine the money you could save on gas!
Yeah, this EV is sort of revolutionary for its low cost. Add in the gas savings and I’m not sure if it could be beat.
I like that the i-MIEV runs up to 112mpg! That’s an improvement over the hybrid I was considering.
i love this car for short trips to portland, without spending alot on gas.
Wow, 112 MPG! I thought my Saturn getting 33 MPG was good. I love my Saturn but I would rather have something that goes 112 MPG! I’m flabbergasted…
😀
