Gas and Mileage Question?

I know the MPG on an X5 4.8 isn't great to begin with, but I'm NOT driving hard (in the break-in period), in fact, I'm purposely driving easy and I'm averaging 13.1 MPG ... is that what others are getting? Seems very low for the way I'm driving. Granted, it's mostly around town, but still. Seems at the worst, I should be around 15+. My Range Rover averages higher than this!

Also, I've always used premium, but do you really need to? I have a loaded 4.8 (not sure if the sport package changes anything in the engine that may alter the need for premium gas).

Thanks -
