Schroeder - not when you consider a mile is longer than the European kilometer. The combination of distance difference and "gallon size" difference make it fairly decent.

To put it in European terms - it gets 32.82 kpg city, and 48.276 on the highway/motorway.
The problem there is that the figures you are putting down as KPG are what people are used to getting as MPG(or better)

That is about average for a V6 particularly if the curb weight is very high. This vehicle is upwards of 3500#? Or more?
Thats a problem with the local market and local regulations, if you have a big lump of metal like that in other countries the manufacturers would ship it with a turbo diesel instead of a petrol engine.
Take Fords best selling American van and their best selling European van for examples, both can take the same loads but one gives both better performance and lower fuel consumption.
