Google subject and convert US figures to imperial by multiplying with 1.2; the official specs were 18mpg city / 25mpg hwy (US gallons), but actual will depend on driving style.

Plus, if that's the standard american fuel (low octane) then it will be poor anyway!

Real world example - both my AWDs (One was an XC) can touch 40mpg on 60mph journey, but around town around 20mpg is somewhere near the mark.

They are both manuals though.

And yes, all PH1 XCs will be turbos - Low Pressure ones.
Think it was 193bhp at factory, from the 2.5 engine (B5254T)
