Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2023 Problems

I’d agree that 13.3 litres per 100km is a bit of the high side, but to put it into perspective, you need to forget about the factory claim of 8.0 litres per 100km. That figure is determined by a laboratory test, not real-world driving and rare indeed is the vehicle that can match its test figure with its real-world number.

I would expect a number closer to 11 litres per 100km for this vehicle, but there are a lot of variables at work here. For instance, does the vehicle have a roof rack? Have you fitted a bull-bar? Does the vehicle roll on standard sized wheels and tyres, or are they taller, aftermarket tyres which increase rolling diameter and throw the standard gearing out?

The latter – in particular – can affect fuel consumption in a huge way, as can how you drive the car. High speeds or urban driving will also rapidly increase fuel consumption. If you’re still concerned, have the vehicle tuned to see if that makes a difference.
