The Mitsubishi Outlander delivers mid-range gas mileage ratings in a compact SUV package, and is available in both five- and seven-seat versions. Two engines are offered in the 2009 Outlander: a 2.4-liter inline four and a 3.0-liter V6. The four-cylinder Outlander’s gas mileage ratings are a bit higher than the more powerful V6, with highway figures in the mid-twenty mile per gallon (MPG) range.
