Econ mode? Type of gas?

I got 34 once on my X1 s28i, and it's amazing. Filled up in Denver, and drove up the Independance pass at 12k ft to Aspen. Drove back down towards Los Alamos, and filled up. It took about 14.6 or only 2 gallons left. I drove mostly normal speed limit, but didn't think about mileage run since you know mountains.

It only dawned on me when I got to NM, and cops everywhere catching speeders, and me going 55 mph that I realized I was gonna get the advertised 34 HWY. I never use eco mode or ASS.

Yes Econ mode and chevron 91, Also just put in fresh Mobil 1 0w40. Set cruise at 65 to 70 most the way. And the way back put it in sport half the way and did a lot of passing flooring u5 and mpg dropped to 24

24 is about worst I get and average might not be better, but for the power that is incredible.

In a rare hour once I had 20 mph tailwind and no AC getting 42 mpg for 70 miles at 65-70 mph and slowing down to 35 through a town.
