I was told by the dealer to wait till 15K and economy should get better - closer to the expected 10.5 l/100km.
After oil change fuel consumption is at 13.5 l/100km, mostly city driving, with winter tires - calculated at 3 consecutive fillups.
2005 model is the older model, I don't know that one.
I recommend 'Lemon Aid Car Buyers Guide'. It is in my opinion very competent cource of information. I've had a few cars so far and it always turned out that the author was right with what he wrote about the cars.
I would never buy a car without consulting that book.

New 2010 Outlander Activ
Hi,
I am looking at buying a new 2010 Outlander active on the weekend. Never had one before so really unsure on their fuel economy. In lamens terms how many Km's per tank SHOULD i get in semi city traffic ?? And how better would this be on the open road??

The other day my wife traveled 300k which included country and city travel during peak hour and only used 7.7LT to 100k on petrol she doesn't have a lead foot but sits on the posted limits. Don't drive hard and it is cheap to run. Drive like a maniac and it will show it. On LPG she gets around 9.5. For an SUV they are great value and reliable.

Fuel consumption getting better
I posted the original message about poor fuel consumption.
Now, update after 18K.
Fuel consumption is much better.
I get between 10 to 12 L/100KM in city driving depending on how much stop & go I do.
If it's a smooth driving, it can go down to 9 L/100 KM.
