Mitsubishi Scrappage – now on 5 year old cars

Mitsubishi are now offering the Scrappage allowance on cars from 5 years old [ad#ad-1] Despite our reservations about the Scrappage scheme in the UK, it would seem that it is proving to be a good handle to hang sales publicity on for car makers.

Three years ago, we embarked on a Midwest road trip in search of what was then the Holy Grail of fuel: E85.
