Back in July 2015, my wife and I drove along parts of the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway. Total round trip was around 1200 miles and the X5 used 1.5 tanks of diesel and averaged 25.5 mpgs. Tire inflation was set at the maximum in the manual (41/48). Not bad considering we were climbing a lot of mountains and had a trunkload of stuff on the way back (tax free shopping in Oregon!)

The X5d was awesome carving up the mountain highway and was strong climbing I-5's mountain roads. High speed straight line stability was on part with my M3, and I attribute it to the OEM Dueler tires.
