Gas Mileage for US-spec X1 sDrive28i?

Since the RWD version of the X1 with the N20 engine appears to be a US-market exclusive and weighs in around 3,500 lbs. vs. the xDrive version that weighs 3,700 lbs., what's the best guess for EPA city/highway gas mileage?

The RWD 328i F30 with the same drivetrain weighs about the same at 3,460 lbs., but most likely has a better drag coefficient. That car is rated at 23 city/33 highway, down from the initial rating of 24/36. Does anyone have experience with RWD F30 fuel consumption with the N20/8-speed auto transmission to report?

I know that some in Canada/other markets have discussed their actual fuel consumption with X1 xDrive N20 versions, but can others weigh in?

It's not a big deal for me, but my this would be a replacement for my wife's car and she wants something that gets decent gas mileage this time. Too bad the diesel versions aren't going to be offered here, as I think they would be well-received.
