Overall, I love the car, but gas mileage is nowhere close to advertised. I am seriously thinking of trading it in. Only have 2300kms on it and filled the tank 6 times already - NOT very impressive.
As I said in the other topic - you really should be using 95-octane fuel or higher in your X1 - 91 will reduce performance and increase consumption.
