I'm interested in the answers, because they bear no relation to the official figs. I agree with everybody (I get around 23-25 mpg with mostly high-speed motoring), but I'd find it a tad disappointing if I didn't have the LPG option.
Otherwise, very happy with my September '04 purchase, which has already done 13,500 miles!

Our 2004 on average with mixed city and highway drives (80-85 mph) gets 24-26 mpg. When I drive 70 it gets much better but then you are getting in the way of the long haulers.. best to keep your speed up around here. WE plan a 3500 mile trip in May. We should get a good all highway average out of that. I'll try to remember to report back.

2005 Mits Outlander Limited. Just completed a highway trip of 800 miles. Got 29.5 and 28.0 mpg(cdn) or 23.6 and 22.4 (us) on two fills. Conditions were prairie flatland, with no wind on first tank, and 7-10 mph crosswind on second tank. Cruise control set to 110km/hr (68us), light traffic two lane. Vehicle has 2400 miles on it. I did both fills so they were filled consistently. Sometimes I have found that in busy times in full serve stations they will shut things down as soon as the pump shuts off. This gives a variable fill level depending on the pump flow.

Just bought 2.4 auto Outlander. Have done 496 miles so far and it has averaged 28mpg. Driving almost entirely town driving. Car computer somewhat inaccurate, has never shown more than 24mpg. Miles to empty showed 60, yet had 15 litres left in tank.
Last 2 cars have been 2.5 V6 saloons when I could get 30-31 round town. These two cars liked quick accelleration to desired speed for best mpg. Both were fussy on make of petrol, worth experimenting.

With respect, the difference at $2 a gallon is a bit less than at $6.80/gallon!! :D
In any event, there's no real excuse for the manufacturer's figures to be more than 10% higher than what we seem to be experiencing. At 30,000 miles a year, that works out at more than $1200 a year unexpected extra expense for me (which would cover my car tax and insurance).
Really, it's my only gripe against what is a good car.
