UK to Les Arc 1950 (France)
I recently completed a high speed round trip to the Les Arc 1950 ski resort.
With the 30d and a large top box I managed approx 33mpg. Auroroute driving speed was 82mph, but did increase while overtaking. There were a few high speed get aways from the toll booths which probably didn't help the MPG.
Fortunately I had clear roads in the mountains- I only had stock tyres on the x3 along with backup autosocks in the boot.
I had a few slushy patches on the mountain hairpins, which kicked in the traction control- but all was in control.
Very happy with the X3 over the journey. Could have done with 100 litres more luggage space, but managed to cram it all in somehow.
