2000 Outback fuel consumption


Recommended Posts

I recently saw and Canadian write up on the 2000 Outback. It listed the following spec for the fuel consumption :

 

Fuel consumption :

City: 10.9 l/100 km (26 mpg)

Hwy: 7.4 l/100 km (38 mpg)

 

What's the difference between Canadian and US models that allow for such high mileage?

Sorry... my engineering side coming through.

 

The Imperial gallon is not 5 quarts... it is 4 quarts (Imperial), same as the US gallon in that sense. But, both units are a different size from each other.

 

Just check any conversion chart. 1 Imperial gallon is "close" to 5 US quarts, granted. (4.8)

 

1 Imperial gallon = 4.55 liters

1 US gallon = 3.78 liters

 

The Imperial gallon is 20% bigger.

 

I really wish the conversion to metric hadn't gotten derailed in North America... :-\
