Sounds like a couple unhappy campers. Read the auto mags and you will see that even the X3 with the 2.0 is getting 22-23, the X3 is a couple hundred pounds heavier and they don't drive them like granny at the auto mags. I believe winter blend gas is for all the US and not just the upper Midwest or northeast. In relative terms the X1 is pretty lightweight. If a couple people are getting bad gas mileage out of hundreds doesn't mean there is a problem. There's a guy that posts on here from Columbia with Xdrive that consistently gets upper 20's lower 30's hwy so for every really bad example there are really good example. If there was a 2.0 problem with gas mileage why are the new 3 series getting consistently high 30+ mileage. The X1 really weighs about the same as the 5 series and its 33 hwy I believe. So it's not weight and its not the engine. A few people does not make the average whether extremely high or extremely low.
