I did a 500 mile trip this past weekend (met my parents in Fargo from Minneapolis), on the way out there in my Xterra (which I know is not frugal on fuel) I got about 18L/100km. I was appalled. One of the many reasons I'm trading it in on an X3 35i soon. Only thing I will say is that it was windy on the way out and the Xterra has the aerodynamics of a house. Hearing city driving aroun 13.5L/100km is making me very excited. Mixed city and why driving in the Xterra would usually be somewhere in the neighbourhood of 17-18L/100km.
