Tires matter...my loaner had the stock 17s with about 44psi in each corner that I promptly dropped to 2-3 over F/R per the door placard. I'd say the heavier 19s on performance rubber isn't helping your cause but shouldn't be that big a hurt. Doing 90 even for short stretches unless its down a mountain is definitely not helpful.

Look guys my 128 on the same drive easily beats what I was able to get in the X1 driving it gently, so for me 33 sounds like bs and per my findings is just that. Granted my 166hp CRV gets 24-25 now with winter tires so I'm not bashing the X1 for getting mid to high 20s I'm just pissed that they get to claim a number that is not close to reality.
