I suppose I shouldn't complain then. Getting that in our RR, I suppose, offset the lack of decent mileage in the X5. :D

This subject always seems to come up.:( It's as if some folks are hoping for a miracle that they will one day wake up and find that their X is getting 30MPG. :wow:

Everyone knows what kind of fuel consumption an X5 gets. ;)
Let go of the pipe dream people. Nothing's going to change...... :yawn:

I'll know tomorrow when I get the car but for me anything in double digits is an economy upgrade. :)

12k miles consistently 16-17 mpg in mixed driving. 19+ interstate only driving. 2008 4.8i.

sport mode will lower those numbers but the fun factor increases exponentially.

A lot of Americans want everything. It needs to have 500bhp, all the luxury goods, all the techno gadgets, lots of passenger and cargo space, seating for 7, accelerate from 0-60mph in 5 seconds, and get 37 miles to the gallon.

silly Americans. a vehicle such as this can not be built. it's heresy i tell you, pie in the sky dreamers. stupid americans.



:bustingup ;)


i heard a good joke yesterday AzNM.

at State if you answer the question "what is 2 plus 2?" with the answer of "5"; you would fail the test.

at Carolina if you answered the same question "what is two plus two?" with the same answer "5"; you would pass, as it would be considered a complete sentence. :D we now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

And I want it cheap, too. A diesel-electric with super-conductive technology, made of titanium and plastic might just do that, but would cost $500K.

My 4.4 seems to get much better mpg, 20+/- highway at 70 plus.

Why does the new model eat so much more gas?

:chair: (First time I've heard a State joke though)
