It would be something if it were 36MPG.

It will be a mid 20's MPG POS too...should just be focusing on the diesels.

What reason do you need, diesels get over 35mpg...need another reason? Exceptionally well documented by, not only members on this board, but BMW. Fuel source that is readily available and proven EPA regulations....next question?

2008 Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec

EPA

These facts do not support your position.

Why would you post fuel figures for a MBZ when we're talking BMW.

Its the current clean diesel that the EPA has tested, I don't think that BMW has any diesels in the USA at this time.

HMM I'm Going with Wag on this, Diesels are a way better option because they have been around so long, I suspect in 10 years time the hybrids will be far superior to the current ones

A few observations

1-Blue stop being an ass

2-The "Hybrid" crap all over it is fully tasteless JUST like the Escalade Hybrid

3-26mpg? How does that compare to the RX400h? I would say that it is still better then it's non hybrid version

4-I hardly thing people buying this suv really care at the pump, a few will but the most will want to be "IN"
