)
OF COURSE you'll get great mileage if you never go over 60 mph or accelerate faster than an 18 second 0-60!
I wouldn't be surprised if Eco Pro mode is designed to provide max acceleration of around that same value. I also think the throttle response on the X1 is very non-linear to game the system a bit. It's very gentle up to about 50-60% and gets much more aggressive at that point. You can see this, as others have said, by watching the throttle position indicator... er, I mean the Instantaneous Fuel Economy needle.
