If I can't eke out 28-29 driving moderately (65-75) on my mostly hwy free flowing 40mi commute, I may be on to a '14 cx-5 touring- that has enough power to get out of its own way now- but still no diesel.
I've been able to get in the 28's mileage-wise but only on pure highway parts of a trip - by resetting the mpg display once I get up to cruising speed. Even including the acceleration up the on-ramp into the average mpg calc will keep the average to around 25. Oh, and that's using eco pro. I've found that even while highway cruising that EP mode will reduce downshifting on slight grades, improving mileage.
My X1 has only 400 miles on it so far, so I'm really hoping things improve with a little more break-in.
