8 to 11 mpg!!!!!!!! 4.4 petrol

Had the X5 for a month now however still readings saying 8...to 11 mpg around town...I knew it would be thirsty but that's literally taking the piss, checked tyres 2 were low but corrected them... Surely can't be right..

I'd start with The Usual Suspects... low tire pressure, old spark plugs, clogged air filter, poor fuel quality, extra weight from dead bodies under the cargo cover....

How do you calculate the mpg? The OBC is known to be inaccurate. Manual calculation will give more accurate result.
My Dinan 4.8iS is getting 13mpg around town, BTW.

everybodys city and highway driving is different. where I live, sometimes I can barely go 300 feet without hitting a stop sign. speed limit is 25 around town and 50 highway. all highway I get about 24 mpg. all city I get about 11-12 mpg
