Thank you for the link on the all wheel drive system.
I went thru the manual front to back and front again and I was very disappointed with the explanation of the system.
I looked on Mitsu site but I must have missed this one.
Thanks again.

The little mpg bar graph thingy kind of encourages me to drive with a light foot to see how high of mileage I can get.
The Mercury Villager we traded for the Outlander got 17-18 Mpg so if we can beat that by 5 MPG or so I'll be happy.
This tank possibly innacurate due dealer filled.
To first fill 11.30 L/100 kms OR 25 mpg Imperial OR 20.81 mpg US. About 50 per cent hwy 50 per cent urban.
2nd tank
8.48 L/100kms OR 33.31 mpg Imperial OR 27.737 mpg US.
95 per cent Hwy 5 per cent other.
The lowest I was showing per the computer average was 8L/100kms OR 35.31 mpg Imperial OR 29.40 mpg US.
All this with a light foot. highway speed 90-110 kms/hour
Does your gasoline have 15% corn ethanol?
Second question: Do you have a requirement that your gasoline be reformulated?
I ask those questions because your gas mileage is remarkably better than here in St Louis Missouri where we have reformulated gas with 15% ethanol.
I have found that on my previous car, that I got 10 to 15% better gas mileage when I traveled and bought gas away from St. Louis. I have not been on a highway trip with my Outlander yet.
In B.C. where i reside I don't believe there are any current regulations on this.
Last year when I drove across the U.S.(in a different vehicle of course) I also noted a discernible difference in mpg when using gasoline containing ethanol.

I and the wife are happy with this as vehicle is rated for 33 MPG highway on Fuel Consumption Rating list online on Natural Resources Canada site oee.nrcan.gc.ca/transportation/tools/fuelratings/ratings

Archquark did mention those were imperial gallons so the miles per gallon will be a little higher than when using U.S. Gallons. Basically, divide miles per imperial by 1.2 to get miles per U.S. gallon.

24.4 MPG.
I'm very pleased. The 2007 Outlander XLS 2WD with all the toys is a joy to drive. My Ford explorer Sport Trac under the same circumstances used to average around 18 MPG.
displays the automatic (reset after 4 hours of inactivity), and the manual which will keep on compiling statistics until you decide to reset.
Roundtrip 1685 miles with 66.1 gallons of gas = 25.49 MPG. Started with 2646 miles on odometer, finished with 4331.
I bet you did not use the A/C in Texas either.
By the time I reached my exit it read 29.5 MPG! I was tempted to keep driving to see if I could hit 30.

Average is 27.50 MPG. Most of the driving is between ( 80 kilometers )50 miles per hour and (115 Kilometers )75 miles per hour.
So far I'm very pleased with the fuel economy of my car. I also realized how gas consumption varies with the weather conditions and driving habits. I keep my information display on the fuel economy screen and monitor its reading as I drive along. I don’t have to drive slowly to conserve gas, but it’s important to drive smoothly. Push the gas a bit harder, break, hit the gas again and watch you fuel economy going downhill. Wind, outside temperature, load are other significant factors as well.
Shoorty, you're a leadfoot! BTW,anyone know the top speed on these things? I'm assuming they're speed limited. Just curious, I'll probably never go that fast unless I take another trip out west.
Manual says any speed above 60mph will hurt your mileage, if I remember it right the sweet spot is about 55mph.
It is a cool 4WD system, nice to be able to shift from 2WD to 4WD. I wouldn't buy one without it living in Wisconsin.
Just checked the mileage with a tank only my wife drove the car. 20.5 MPG. I've been getting 21-23 MPG. She does more city driving, but she must have a heavier foot, also.
The end of trip registered 8005 miles. I think its broke in.
