So upset about the gas mileage - any tips?

I traded in my VW Jetta Sportwagon TDI because I just wanted to move past the heart break of being lied to and ruining the environment, and didn't want the anxiety of waiting to see what VW would do to the car to make it pass emissions in a couple months... BUT I was getting about 40 mpg on the VW, and diesel was cheaper than gas (at the right stations). Well, I fell in love with the Mistubishi Outlander Sport (it had been on my short list when I bought the VW), and the dealership took my VW for trade-in so the Mitsu didn't cost me much (same year and pretty much same mileage as my VW), and I felt really good about the weight off my shoulders. I set the odometer, and needed a fill up at 270 miles - that's 20 mpg, or HALF what I was getting on the VW, and at higher cost per fill-up. I thought 'let me try the manual controls, and not run the a/c so much before I go marching back to the dealership'. Well, next fill-up was today, at 260 miles! WTF, Mitsubishi? How can that be? What can I do differently to get the MPG you said I would get? The last thing I need is to feel guilty about my trade-in after the whole VW fiasco!

Mitsubishi deserves to fail

Where to start...rattles galore on a brand new car, idle that wants to destroy itself by jumping into the 3,000 rpm range after the first clutch engagement, that obnoxious chime that you can't disable when the temp hits 37 degrees. Oh, and come to find out my "new" car was damaged in transit, repainted, and the damage was not disclosed. When I called Mitsubishi about the body damage they wouldn't tell me how much they paid the dealer to fix the damage or sanction the dealer for non-disclosure; in fact, they were no help at all. In my opinion Mitsubishi deserves to go the way of Suzuki and disappear from the American market.

Great little SUV

I really like my Outlander Sport I have owned it for 4 years now and it has been a very reliable car. It has a decent ride and handles nicely. My one big negative would be the CVT transmission. It is very hard to get used to.Also It makes the car seem under powered along with the 2.0 motor. I average about 28 mpg which is good to me. For an inexpensive good looking SUV I feel like I make a good purchase

Great New Car

The Outlander Sport is a car-like SUV that doesn't look like a typical compact car or SUV. The sporty styling is great and the size is just right. The Outlander Sport has a quiet ride and handles well. Highway acceleration is good (for a small, high MPG vehicle). Interior is comfortable, uncluttered, and has plenty of leg room even for tall drivers. Lots of electronic features come standard (USB port, Bluetooth, voice commands, trip computer, etc). Excellent warranty, fuel economy, price, and safety features.
