MY X6 MPG is going up about 1MPG every 1k miles. Started at 15-20 as per the sticker. Now with 3-4k miles on the truck, I am getting 15-17 city and 21-24MPG hwy.
Agree Chuck - I've now hit 7000 and consumption settled around the same as yours seems to be hitting. I just ran a mixed return trip to the airport this PM - 90 miles total of which 70 was tollway / interstate and 20 miles of 2-lane Sunday afternoon stop/start. I averaged 20.2MPG for the 90 miles.

That's with the 3.0TT however.... expect you big brothers in the 4.4TT to struggle to get that high - but look forward to seeing the results come in as the milages start to climb!!
