You can use an online conversion tool.Which engine do you have in yours. In Canada (metric system) the 3.0L V6 is rated City/Hwy 8.5/12.2 L/100km and it's pretty close to the real world in my experience. Most of the times I average 10.5-11.5 L/100km, depending on the driving pattern. I did better and I did worst.
Your numbers are fairly good, but if you have the 2.4L it shows that the V6 is worth the money.

 

Hi Dodo - yeah I have the 3.0L V6 too and the figures I get are pretty close to what you've quoted there, so that's good!

 

So sorry for the long delay and thanks for the replies!

1 month in and I'm steady at 23MPG in mixed driving using mid grade fuel. While I was away, we took the Outlander on it's first road trip and it was great! I did notice that the center arm rest power plug was 'always on' but that's a good thing because my daughter can continue to watch her Elmo DVDs while we made fuel stops.

I have noticed that in the city, if I bump the tranny to 5 gear, the fuel economy gauge moves towards the right. This is a good thing because I'm not 'lugging' the engine and maybe that's why my mpg is where it's at. Don't get me wrong, I think Mitsu did a good job mapping the tranny shift points, but sometimes I think it needs to hold out 4th or 5th gear alittle longer before going into the over-overdrive

 

It is good to hear from another satisfied buyer. Mitsu really hit the right blend of things (eg power size, features, styling), at least as far as I am concerned.
