I heard that the 2011 X5 35i is rated at 17/25 ... which is pretty good! I wonder if the 2011 X6 35i is rated the same? |

I have 19k miles on mine now and have consistently averaged 12.5-13.5mpg, I have a heavy foot but even when I have traded with my wife for a week she only got 13.5mpg. This is mixed city and tollroad.
Seeing about 10mpg for the few weeks is normal. I remember seeing this too in the beginning. Should improve some around 2,500-3,500 miles once the engine breaks in more. |

With the spill in the Gulf of Mexico, consumption is going to be more of a concern again, because it's not the cost in dollars only. The cost in lost livelihood in fisheries, & tourism & obviously, enviro damage. IMO, 40 d engine is obviously necessary in North Am. market.

First post. Glad to be here!!!
I have about 2500 miles on my 2010 X6m and got about 13 mpg for first few tanks, mostly city driving, pretty aggressive. Now I get about 15-16mpg, same, mostly city, pretty aggressive. It seems I am getting about the same MPG as other models with less power. I am surprised. Must be the power to weight ratio thing. John |

1 U.S. Gal =3.7854 litres
1 Imperial Gal= 4.546 liters Please qualify ur mileage based on US or English, or use metric. w/ 85 Liter tank still does not offer much range. |

Hey guys. I got my 2011 X6 35i last week in SC and drove it back to NJ(about 730 miles). I could not believe when I got home to see the car had averaged 24.7 mpg. The car is rated 17-25. After driving around town it is down to 22.5 and I am still very surprised. This new combo with the N55 engine and 8 speed trans is incredible. I will continue to monitor this with different gas stations and see which brand yields the best mpg. If anyone has a great experience with a certain gas brand please post it.
