I was getting much the same as sleddog on my 2009 outlander 2.4lt CVT 4wd on petrol and about 14lt to 100k when towing a van. Now has LPG as well and is even cheaper to run. Had a look at local new vehicles and cant see any ECO symbol.

Also get the 40-50L per 100km for a minute then drops down to lower numbers and after 5 minutes or less its around the right figures.
Never ever have it over 11L freeway or traffic .......on my 140km per day commute I even can get it in the 6.8L per hundred on the freeway ,but normaly between 7L- 9L per 100km ..its AWSOME on fuel for a large car.

Some engines will consume a bit less fuel after several thousands km. I made only 350km so far. At least I hope. I emptied one full tank of gas yesterday, and average was 13.9l/100km, but I have winter tires and run at 4wd all the time, it's bloody snowy here. Hope fuel consumptions will improve.

It's got to be there. Diesel is the only engine option in some European markets. Maybe comes up on the colour display?

eco mode 2017 outlander

Hi anyone know when you put a Outlander in eco mode if you feel a real difference in how cold your AC is. Dealer says its normal.

That's normal. Eco also lets your a/c compressor run less putting less strain on your engine saving gas.

Found a way to keep eco on and it not effect the ac but the dealer and manufacturer didn't know. Being in Fla it's to noticeable

I just went on vacation and did 1900 miles and averaged 31mpg with mine. That's not too bad. That's fully loaded with stuff and family, a/c on doing 70-75 with about 3 hours of stop and go traffic on the way there.
