So far with only 130 miles on the odometer I am averaging 11.5mpg and this is mixed driving between tollroad and city driving. I have somewhat of a heavy foot but have not floored it yet and have only driven to about 120 once and for a short time on tollroad.

I an hoping that once the car is broken in that I will see 12.5-13mpg in normal driving 16-18 on highway.

You should see the looks you get with this car!
Enjoy....... I'm very jealous!!!Keep us posted on that MPG.Also,when you start pushing the car in the twisties.....Can you hear the DPC rear end working?Some owners indicate it makes a somewhat " mechanical" noise doing it's job.The "Exclusivity" factor is real....I traveled over 2,000 road miles the last two weeks all over the Southeast US......always on the lookout for interesting cars.I have seen "zero" X6's on the road or in the cities I visited.About as rare as a Ferrari siting....at least in the part of the world I travel.Thanks!
