At the risk of beating said dead horse, I'll add that Small turbo motors seem to be more sensitive to driving habits than larger naturally aspirated engines. For example, I can baby my x1 (28i S Drive) all the way to 34-35 mpg (still cruising with the AC on at 65-70 mph on a 90% highway tank of gas, or I'm pretty sure I can consume the fuel at a rate of 15-17 mpg or so, If I take it to the other extreme.
I, for one am AMAZED at the economy and flexibility of the X1....great MPG when I want it, but very nice performance when I'm in the mood.
Like others have said, if you wanted a Prius, you should have bought one, but if you don't know how to drive with a light foot, even that will get dissapointing mileage.
