Comfort on side roads, Eco+ on motorways, Sport when I feel like it. Motorway cruising at 70-80 mph. Plenty of traffic hold ups and speed restictions. Not specially careful with ecomomy.

My sweet spot seems to be about 60-65 mph on a smooth motorway with no interuptions, when it will easily do 50+ mpg.

I am happy enough with this.
Yes the sweet spot is around 65mph .... but can only hold that if I use cruise control ... at 77mph I get 42mpg..

Our best ever was a 11 hour drive from Austria to UK we managed 70mph average with 40.1mpg!

Well pleased with both the performance and the economy of the X3 2.0d
