Thumbs down

I drove a 2006 325i rear wheel drive 6 speed (6 cyl)and exceeded the EPA estimates, averaging just under 29 mpg driving a combination suburban/highway miles. I used 87 octane fuel. I am now driving the same routes with my X1 and only averaging 24 mpg using 89 octane, which is the fuel I am told I can use. I never would have bought the X1 if I thought the gas mileage would be so bad. The EPA estimates were higher with the X1, yet I am getting worse gas mileage. Same driver, same roads, under performing. I have friends with larger vehicles with 6 cyl engines getting the same gas mileage. Something is wrong with these vehicles, or BMW lied about the gas mileage.
