+1 and also compare mpg to other cars with similar hp and torque. My wifes Tiguan is 200hp and gets an combined average of anywhere from 18-23mpg depending on city/highway ratio whereas my 300hp 35i gets better mpg than hers in all areas and I drive it harder than she does hers. On my previous car (130hp) I floored it any time I wanted to accelerate at all and I got 29-31mpg regardless and I'm so happy to trade mpg for real hp.
I'd imagine that on the next X1's you'll see only a 28i and 20i option. 20i will get good gas mileage I'm sure, but I wouldn't buy it.
