TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Mitsubishi Outlander

Mitsubishi Outlander Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	The 2014 redesign reduced the Kia Sorento V6 AWD's EPA figures from 20 mpg city, 26 mpg highway to 18/24.The Outlander GT goes farther on a gallon of gas, especially on the highway: 20/28. Among three-row AWD crossovers, you won't find better fuel economy ratings (though the larger, more powerful Acura MDX comes close with 18/27). Before you start calculating your fuel cost savings, though, consider that premium unleaded is recommended in the Mitsubishi, but not the Kia. The EPA figures assume that the AWD system is in its normal mode. You can also select an eco mode that more completely disengages the rear wheels. In either mode they'll be engaged if the front's slip. You can also select a snow mode or instruct the system to constantly engage the rear wheels. In real-world driving, the trip computer reported low 20s in typical suburban driving, but as high as 30 in Eco mode with a warmed-up engine, a feather-light right foot, and a healthy distance between red lights. On a 70-mph highway, the two-way average was 25.5. At speeds over 60 crossovers often have trouble achieving their EPA highway ratings. see full Mitsubishi Outlander review

2007	4dr SUV 220-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic 4WD	One of the leading incentives to buy. Cruising at 55-60, 30MPG is extremely reasonable. We cruise the interstates at 70-73 and get 27 in the summer and 24 in the winter (gas blending may be cause of differences) see full Mitsubishi Outlander review

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Toyota Avalon

Toyota Avalon Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	The Avalon's EPA ratings of 21 mpg city, 31 mpg highway are the best of any V6-powered large sedan. The Azera's numbers aren't too far behind (20/29). The LaCrosse's are (17/27). In our suburban driving we roughly matched the city figure. On the highway, though, we measured about 27. A number of factors might explain the shortfall. With a 70 mph limit, we were cruising well above the maximum speed of the EPA test cycle. Also, every seat was occupied and the trunk was chock full of luggage. Desire better fuel economy? Well, for the first time the Avalon is also available with a hybrid powertrain, specifically the same 200-horsepower (combined) unit available in the Camry. With this engine, the EPA ratings are 40/39. But you'll give up the more effortless acceleration and sweeter sound of the 268-horsepower V6. While the 3.5-liter V6 has changed very little since its introduction in the 2006 Avalon, and lacks the latest technology such as direct injection, it feels plenty strong and is among the best-sounding V6s. At low speeds and in turns traction is the limiting factor. All-wheel-drive would help, but unlike in the Buick isn't an option. The transmission remains the same six-speed automatic Toyota has offered since 2007. It's smooth and responsive, especially in sport mode (offered with the XLE Touring and Limited). If you desire to call the shifts yourself anyway, this can be done via either paddles flanking the steering wheel or the lever. Econ mode makes top mpg easier to attain by dulling throttle responses and quickening upshifts. see full Toyota Avalon review

2006	4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I find the fuel economy outstanding for a 6-cyl. engine. I have power when I ned it and the fuel economy of many 4-cyle. vehicles. see full Toyota Avalon review
2005	4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Excellent mileage the entire 8 years I have owned this car. Usually I get 22-24 in town and well over 32 on the highway sometimes up to 35 mpg if I keep at 65 when the RPM runs around 2000. see full Toyota Avalon review
