Honestly, how do you guys get the 258hp 30d/35d to do an average of near 40 US mpg??? That is so crazy! It's a 2.2-2.3 ton monster! That's figures for a small Toyota!
Mine is now on 20000km with an average of 25 US mpg. Yes I do have quite a heavy foot but still. I have tried a few times to really drive economical but can never reach lower than 0,9 l/100km when I do the 200km trip to my countryhouse. And that is in ECO-mode. |

Perfect. Will incorporate. "Dual carriage way", so I presume that is a UK MPG for when I need to convert.

Trip tonight, with reset. Mostly highway, and 87% in ECO Pro mode, about +2 C.
Results only a fraction different from my last input here, but this should be kind of a re-confirmation of the mpg, and it looks quite stable. Seems it is hard to get under this number, at least with this temperature, tires and so on. Maybe in summer :-) Best Bent |

Tried to get max mpg out of the X5M50d, so kept gas steady on uphill and coasted downhill on a circle road around the city with 80/kmh speed limit, just a few lights. The most impressive is the range . You also see my city average in the lower corner. Less Webasto has made it go down... Took another photo of the range once parked. It was actually pretty easy to get it below 6.0 at 70-80 km/h! I got it as low as 5.3 km/h /1049 km range.

kip1 c3uo thank you both. I have updated post #1 in this thread to reflect the additional data. Kip1, having a tough time making out the second photo.
Impressive results. I am starting to believe the U.S. EPA mpg for the diese is very conservatively stated. Everyone who tries to maximize seems to beat it.

MPG add-on suggestion
MattBianco Niko, doubtless you've already thought of this and discounted the idea; It occurred to me when filling up my tank today and seeing what the range is when I first left the petrol station forecourt; My display said I had 686 miles to go before empty. Is it worth adding this to your matrix?
I think we have all have the same tank capacity @85 Litres. Just a thought |

Great tires! I'll add the comment to the data. Tires do affect MPG, but I am not sure by how much. The same route, driven the same way would be very telling.

Think you should also add a column on weather conditions, especially if there was a head wind or tail wind

Beat this!
Conditions: four passengers, 3/4 tank fuel, slight tailwind (circa 2-4 mph), EcoPro, about 200 ft of downhill over the course of the distance, started trip odometer when cruise speed was reached, driven for max efficiency.
