I'm an enthusiast bordering on the obsessive and I've never had a hard time beating EPA hwy numbers in summer, matching them in winter (roughly). My 128 is 18 city 28 highway. Driving this car very aggressively on hilly rural sections in my area I've never come close to as poor as the city epa would suggest and on summer trips to upstate VT (not pancake flat) have blown through 32 not really trying. So when BMW launches a new model, has the EPA number revised to be the same in a lighter 2WD much more aero sedan why the hell won't they fix the numbers and stop flat out lying to less savvy consumers, so yeah I'm also a complainer when manufacturers lie and the EPA lets it go for whatever reason. With just a very blunt numbers comparison its pretty clear something stinks and I think buyers have all the right to be pissed off at BMW and the EPA for not calling them on the X1 lie, particularly in the wake of the 328 lie- which in reality was probably far less egregious.
