I recently purchased a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Exceed (Diesel 2.2L).
From what I've researched the fuel consumption should be around 6.2L/100km for combined cycle, 5.4L/100km for extra urban.
So far on my first tank, which was about 500kms of country driving on fairly even ground at 100kph, I got 6.8L/100km. A far cry from the alleged 5.4 or even the combined 6.2.
Is this a case of manufacturers claiming insane numbers or maybe something causing the increased fuel consumption?
When I first purchased the car I had some minor transmission problems so am hoping there isn't more. I'm based in Australia and am pretty easy on the throttle so just wanted to ask here before I went and got it looked at.
Thanks.
