GAS MILEAGE ON THE X5'S

[Repoman]

Sweet, and all this time I settled for imperfection. I will check this out asap. Any special procedure to follow to recalibrate?

I get 14.7 on average (just reset computer about 5 days ago) with 03 4.4. My buddy has an 03 4.6is and he claims about 11-12.

It seems like our mileage is terrible when compared to face lift. Jsears, you're getting 16 with that 4.8??? How? Are the N62 V8s more efficient?

Yep, I checked my OBC yesterday morning. I get 16MPG mixed driving according to it. With an average speed of 38MPH. I don't know if the Dinan S1 package has much to do with my fuel efficiency.....

I get ~15 on average mixed city / highway driving in my 4.6is.

I see 18-20 on long highway trips depending on hills, wind, speed, etc.

I am getting (hand or OBC) 19.74 average and have been since I've owned it. I love mine.

I am wondering what the E70's get in similar config's?
