Coming home, traffic is pretty bad. The rest of my driving is local/street driving. I have had exactly one longer trip since I got the X1, about 200 miles round trip. Otherwise - city driving, LA style.

So my trip computer - never reset - shows on approx. 8000 miles, average speed 33.5 and avg MPG 27.3. I am satisfied.

I think the xDrive28s seem to be the ones with a lot of variability...
Your morning commute in light traffic raises your average speed significantly. I do mostly city driving in the Detroit area and average about 29 mph.
