No kidding...just about impossible, in the X's current config, to match
a RAV, et al, in mpg: your X weighs nearly 5,000 lbs and has a V8;
the RAV weighs 3300 lbs and has a 4 or V6.

I have a Rav 4 V6 and it does better than my old X5 4.4 in the city but on the highway the X5 was close. My current E61 does much better city or highway. On a recent highway trip I average 25 MPG at a average speed of 74. The E53 seemed better on gas than the current X5 & X6.

I really like my E61 it is very fast and gets much better MPG.
