26.6 on the highway with wind and hills sounds about right. I get around 20 with city and suburban driving. (no interstate.) I usually average 26 or 27 tops on trips.
2007 V6 AWD.

Our recent trip from Carbondale, IL to Chicago:
We started with 68 F, calm weather, speed of 75 mph, and computer reading of 24 mpg. As temp. and weather condition were deteriorated, so was our millage. We reached Chicago 5 hours later, with temp readings in high 30 F and late season snow storm. Our millage readings dropped to 21.5 mpg. We will wait for really warm weather for our next trip.

Looks like the 4 cyl. is good for about 3 MPG over the 3.0 V6. Sounds about right.

I've found the computer to be fairly close, provided the readings you see are constant for a whole tank/trip
 
In my driving it varies a lot (between around town an highway). My best "peak" reading while on the highway has been 28MPG in my '07 LS V6 AWD.
When I verified the total over the whole tank I averaged 26 on that tank. The only way for you to truly know is to compute it yourself by dividing the miles traveled between fill-ups by the gallons used over that time.

Probably not..... My experience (not w/Mitsus) has been these computers are overly "optimistic" by at least 2-3 mpg.....Best bet is when you gas up - fill up and track the mileage over several tanks - those numbers don't lie (if you do the math cporrectly....eh, eh).
 
Still, your mileage seems pretty good.....

I got 30 mpg driving from Columbia, MO to St. Louis, and 28 mpg driving back to Columbia, MO. The total distance is like 200 miles.
Once I got 32 mpg driving next to St. Louis. It is Chesterfield.
 
*Everything calculated based on 90/10 Hwy/City, 65mph on Hwy.
** It is a 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander LS, 3.0L V6 AWD
