It's odd that the AWD has better milage???

 

That's great politics because in NJ, <= 19 mpg means luxury tax. Many seemingly innocent cars will be added to the rolls that are taxed as a result.

Even more ludicrious is no matter what number and what combinations of numbers I put into their conversion calculator, it merely subtracted 2 mpg. We already know that the EPA is one of the least scientific agencies in DC, but...now all we need is for DOT to revise UTQG ratings for tires, I'm thinking subtract 2 from the treadwear and one letter, so what used to be 140 AA A is now 138 BB B

 

I feel better now, I had no idea how someone could get 25mpg out of a X, I am finally averaging over 20 and the weather has been horrible lately, once the temperature levels off a bit I suspect I will get close to(if not) 23mpg.

 

how so? they all seem to have the same deductions.

at any rate, the 19 combined for the X seems too optimistic.

 

Well, that does seem more realistic.

I'm averaging around 20 mpg on my X, but I drive 80-90% highway (990 miles in my first 10 days with the car).

 

Interesting, the 16.1 mpg average based on 1 vehicle must have been my G.

I have still never seen 20mpg average after almost 4,000 miles. I've never seen 20 mpg period.

They say 20 combined, I would love to see 20 mpg!

 

I don't really agree, I'm averaging about 17.6 calculated in my X with atleast 90% of my driving in the city.

 

I'm getting about 17.9 with my X but I'm driving it like a madman.

 

Either you are one of the lucky few or SedanMan and I got the sucky batch of Xs. Its just unbelievable what a huge discrepancy between mine and yours. For the record, I'm still averaging 14ish combined. Even the mad man got 17s

 

I have no idea why your fuel consumption is so bad. I attribute my mid 17s to the cold weather and only driving in the city, so I think I will see better results when it warms up a bit.

 

Hmmm... my wife's XC90 gets 19 combined (and that's an SUV with a V8 engine).

 

I am getting 17.5 MPG in my Sport. That is up from 16.8 last week! And that is in all kinds of driving in all kinds of traffic.
As I learn the gas pedal, I am hoping to seem my MPG go up. I will keep you posted.

 

Mine seems to be right on in combined at 20.

 

I get 20mpg in hwy/city driving conditions and 23mpg on the hwy.

 

i get mid 17's 75% city btu i also have the lead foot mod. anyone else get that mod too??
