I recently took my X5 to upstate NY with family of four, one dog and loaded down with luggage, I kept cruise 8 above speed limit except work zones and I got around 18 – 19 MPG. Still in my opinion impressive considering my old cars of a V6 Four Runner and a V8 Sequoia only at best 16 mpg highway.

Agreed - for the level of performance in the is, the mpg is not so bad at all. Better than previously owned 3/4t and 1/2t suburban, Titan, Armada, and not even that far off a nissan Murano AWD - but light years ahead of all of these in driving dynamics and power.
