1. How you drive affects your fuel consumption by a lot
2. Where do you drive often, highway or city
3. Traffic?

Drove BMW X1 sdrive 18i, just got in a month, at first I got 13L/100km (18.09 MPG US) on average, then I reset the counter and changed the way i drove to be more fuel efficient and now I am getting 11.2L/100km (21 MPG US)!

This is my first BMW so I'm not sure if its just X1 or BMW engineering in general, I noticed that X1 is really good at "gliding", and gets really fuel efficient when it reached > 50km (> 31 Miles), and on highway you could get much better millage. But when you are stuck in traffic that's when you are burning lots of fuel.

I reset my counter while i was in heavy traffic and got really bad mileage 39.5L/100km (5.95 MPG US), it was horrible.

Try changing the way you drive:
1. Gas slowly, better to gas while you are going down a hill than when you are going up. (do not overtake while going up a hill)
2. Try to "glide" as much as possible.

Good luck!
