I just came back from Lack Placid the weekend before last and finally refilled the X, I topped it off before I left there and reset the trip meter. Today I had 405miles on the trip meter and it took 21.4 gallons to top off again.

18.9mpg! with the Thule roof rack, 2 snowboards and a trunk filled with luggage. On the way up I averaged 17.5mpg I believe. Much more uphill driving.

in my 2005 4.4i I am getting aprox. 19 mpg. This is city and freeway commuting combined. On the freeway I am cruising around 70 mph. I have the staggered 19's with michelin diamaris' set at 38 psi all around. I use Chevron 91 octane fuel. I drive pretty conservatively during the commute but get on just about everyday a little to hear that great engine :). And one other thing, the car is always clean so it reduces friction. haha

could actually do with more info on how many miles you get out of a full tank people and not mpg figures as they are never usually correct !:D

I just got back from St. Louis from Columbia. 240 mile round trip. It was real windy and I still averaged 20+ mpg with an average speed of 72, which included downdown driving. I am easy on the accelarator. Kind of a waste to have such an amazing car and treat it so softly. I will get on it with this next tank and see what I get. FYI- I fill my tank when it gets to 3/4 and always use a calculator to determine mileage. Manual calculation is between .1 and .3 off the computer. Close enough for who its for :thumbup:

Your car AND your neighborhood are amazing!!

thanks man , my neighbourhood?! why?

The houses look so classy :thumbup:. I love that style. My mom had our house in Guatemala built to look similar to those. Plus the MB in front of yours :D

thanks mate , its full of rangerover sports and porsche jeeps down my road, well 3 or 4 anyway, its a small road :Dbut the road at the top of mine is really nice with 1 to 2 million pound tudor houses which is my favourite style, i'm a bit old fashioned i think! its really steep hills where i am with a unbeleivable view!

My wife and I are planning a trip to Europe this year and did not think about going to England: Changed my mind now. Thank you for opening my eyes.

Ha ha ha you really made me laugh... a clean car gets less dynamic friction!..ha.. But I dont know maybe being in Africa I find my Black 4.6 "susceptable" to dust and stuck bugs! I basically have my car go for a wash almost every 2 days, and am serious!:(, If its a long distance trip it worse, with that speed (you know!:dunno:) bugs can be all over you might mistake my car for a millitary SUV!...
