Agreed - everyone has their own interpretation of what 'city' driving is.......10ish mpg is pretty normal for me for inner city Boston driving.
I would be more worried about a change in mpg for the same route/driving conditions.

Doesn't seem like much is wrong considering that the display also shows the average speed under 13 mph.

Calculate it on full tanks to get a more accurate reading than short intervals on the OBC.

2001 X5 4.4, average for me is 15 city, 18 hwy. The kind of driving you do can lead to wet tail.....water build up in the cat converter.... Just maybe that might be a factor. Just an idea....might be stupid......I don't know for sure is what I am saying!

I once let my car sit for 20 min with the engine running and got 0mpg

j/k...if you think there may be a problem hop on the highway and see what you are getting at a steady 60 or so for some time - only way to normalize it Vs. the opins from others as to what is 'average for city driving'.


BTW, just got back from SOBE.....lotta fun as always but the liver still hurts from excess libations at the Fontainebleau/Delano/W/Shore club
