All very conservative I'm afraid - that's how I got the impressive MPG figure.

I live less than a mile from the M62 and was travelling to the Marriot Slough/Windsor which is next to the M4. So ... entirely motorway driving setting off late evening. M62, M1, M25 and M4 all empty so it was a steady 70mph without any braking or accelerating except at the start and the end.

Not cheating but not really representative of everyday use.

Just landed in the west of Ireland for Xmas .. Bit of a mare after the fast ferry cancelled and having to get on the road at 0330hrs for the 8am snail boat. The X1 fully loaded and averaged 38mpg over just under 300 miles. Steady early morning run on M6/m56/a55 then a tad quicker across Ireland after the wife insisted on stopping at the Liffey valley shopping centre in Dublin .. Why do they do that !

Anyway for comparison 38 mpg from my X1 ... Driven partly like a Yorkshireman till I got bored .. Hopefully my X3 will be better

Merry Xmas one and all

My 20d xDrive X3 seems to be around 5mpg better like for like compared with our manual 18d sDrive X1.

Don't think you will be disappointed.

Better not have any red ones in.

Have a great Christmas all. I'm intrigued to know how Santa's going to get my surprise X3 down the chimney tonight.
