What Kind of Fuel Economy Are You Seeing So Far?

Fight4Cash · 10-16-2011, 07:15 AM

After 9650 km driving since May is 10.2 L/ 100 km

Beyu · 10-16-2011, 11:29 AM

After about 6 months my mileage has stabled off and it's 18.2 mpg (80% city/20% highway).

What really impresses me about the X3 is the transmission when not having "drivetrain" enabled in sport mode. The car coasts very easily, gliding effortlessly along the road; I think the farthest I've ever gotten was maybe about a mile or so and the meter was hitting blue the whole time, very cool technology at work.

2,500 on the odometer and getting 20 mpg. 90% city, 10% highway. Mostly driven in sport mode.

TuffLittleUnit · 10-16-2011, 01:50 PM

Got 46.1 mpg on last week's Leeds to Slough run (just over 200 miles). Couldn't ask for more, really, given that I was driving at "standard" motorway speeds.

TreeSkier · 10-16-2011, 02:51 PM

I have a 35i in the US and with 200 mi on the car took an 1100 mi trip to Bryce Canyon National Park with 80% hightway (70 - 80 mph) and 20% mountain and dirt roads and averaged 23.5 mpg. This is with premium gas. I'm pretty satisfied with that.

clivem2 · 10-16-2011, 02:59 PM

I've just driven Manchester to Liverpool in Normal = 36.6mpg.

Liverpool to Manchester in Sport = 32.1 mpg.

In Sport I drove a little harder but not by much.

Real mpg (UK) :-)

That is very good. I can't get more than about 42mpg on the motorway at about 70mph. Have you got run flats? I blame the staggered wheels!

Just HOW? I'm driving 90% city and 10% highway in sport and occasionally manual mode and I'm still seeing just under 11.5 mpg.
