2007 XLS V6 4WD with 18,000 miles on it. I just took a trip to Yosemite. Loaded with 4 people, camping gear, weather in the 90's so the AC was always on. Half the tank was on the highway at speeds of 70-80mph (speed limit is 70), the other half was on twisty 2-lane mountain roads at 35-45mph. I went 350 miles on 13.5 gallons, so 25.9 mpg. The Outlander performed great on the trip. Comfortable, plenty of room, crisp steering, handled well in the mountains, excellent brakes, the 6 speed auto was smooth going up and down hills, AC kept the cabin ice cold.

Just got back from North Carolina. Roundtrip from St. Louis Mo. 1972 miles on 73.6 gallons of gas = 26.79 MPG, including some around town driving. The last leg from Raleigh to St louis was 860 miles on 31 gallons of gas for 27.74 MPG. I used BG 44k in the gas  20,000 miles and BG MOA Inhibiter at the last oil change 20,000 miles. I have 23,759 miles on my 2007 XLS. Gas mileage is getting better.

I took possession of my 2008 4cyls 2.4L 4WD ES 2 weeks ago. Now have close to 1000 miles on the Outlander. I would like to contribute some mpg data for 4cyls. On longer trips (100- 120 miles each way ) the computer show the average mpg for the trip to be around 28 to 32 mpg. Combine city/hyw calculated (gallons of gas /miles) is around 25+ mpg. 3 tanks of gas used so far. |

Replying to: gene_v (Mar 01, 2009 12:03 pm) What's the speed you use on those trips? I have a 4 Cylinder 2009 outlander SE. My normal drive is about 65/35 (hw/local). I can only get 22-23 mpg with careful driving. How much can you get on normal day driving? I usually drives at about 60-75 mph, which is not fast. I don't know how people can get such high milelage on outlander. Any comments? Lee

Replying to: Big_Apple (Mar 11, 2009 4:03 pm) If one keeps under 65 MPH gas mileage is much better, I have a V-6. I use a synthetic blend oil and change every 5000 miles. I also add a can of BG MOA inhibiter in the oil every change. Around St Louis I get an average of 20 MPG. Thats with mixed intersateand local roads. Warm weather the mileage really improves. |
