So help me out let's write about some good positive experiences  |
Just returned from a road trip on Monday, Vancouver to Calgary through the Rockies. Straight through each way; 995 km in 11 hours at 8.7 litres/100 km on the outbound leg (32 mpg Imperial). Loaded with luggage and two road bikes. Over 800 km on a tank. Came back a week later; it took over 12 hours due to three highway accidents, and it was 37 C out, but the X3 never missed a beat in either direction. Same mileage on the return. Vehicle remains very comfortable for a couple of full day drives. We had thought about selling it, but can't buy another with manual transmission so we're keeping it for a while longer. It is seven years old, but just under 100,000 km.
Fuel is now $6.05 per US gallon ($1.6 per litre) at home. A little cheaper in Calgary. Didn't dampen the enjoyment of the drive, though.
