On strictly highway/tollroad with a feather foot I was seeing around 18ish for the 15 miles I drove nonstop. I could see around 20ish if you do not change speeds or drive faster than 70.

I have not even been driving that aggressive and have only punched it once so I am guessing once I am broken in I will probably have to stomach around 13 or just under that number in city and lower if I drive aggressively.
I saw thhe 20 MPG and just laughed. I figured he was going by a trip computer and not actual gallons vs. mileage.

If an X5 or X6 V8 got 20MPG mixed driving, believe me, they would be all over the news.
