2011 35d gas mileage questions??
 

Just picked up about 3 weeks ago and has about 1500 miles (will post pictures soon) but when I filled up the first few times the mileage range that I would get was about 500-525 range, and then when I filled up today (with a full tank) the range read out was only 445. Why the sudden drop off? I know that the gauge is not accurate and that it is based off of current driving conditions (i.e. how fast/slow you go) but why the drop?

Any suggestions?

The range is based on your average CURRENT mpg per the trip computer. Your CURRENT mpg was lower after you just filled it compared to your initial range estimate.

how many miles are you getting per tank?

average mpg (by computer was 23.8)

Note the mileage when you fill next 2 times and compare. That is more accurate.

"gas" mileage?

:)

I bet a quart of gas would last a lifetime in our 35d... assuming it didn't evaporate :)

I'm averaging about 17 mpg...90% of the driving is city and we live up in a hilly area.

FYI: My wife drives it and she has a feather-foot. This is NOT hard-driving...I do think, despite our geographical area of living, that the mileage is still too low.

Just returned from a 220 mile trip on our 1000miles 2011 X5 35d. Trip computer reported averaging 60mph and 22.4 mpg. Very disappointing.
