More Miles per Gallon (400 miles per tank)!!!!
I reset adaptations, reset transmission and went on my way. Results are Well, maybe I don't know all other X5 (4.8) enthusiasts MPG results. As I drove 1220 miles, from KS to NJ, I noticed that my MPG increased! I was getting 400 Miles per tank, I would fill up, and take off, (and I have a heavy right foot). On my way back today from NJ, I decided to take pictures and show my results. The first picture is my first 400 mile trip there was still like 1/16 tank left, as you can see approx 26 miles remaining. Then I filled up and took a pictures of the miles once I started again. At half tank I took another picture and it shows 234 miles at half mark, it looks on the picture like if it was less than 1/2 mark but it was the angle the photo was taken from. I Stopped at Hampton Inn for the night and will jet out in the am to post results! Hope some of this helps for you guys out there looking to get better MPG and a better performing X5, because Let me tell you, all this work woke up the X5! response and throttle and fuel economy is totally noticeable.

I'm envious of you 4.8is owners, especially for getting good mileage to boot on top of an already great performing vehicle. With my heavy foot, my little 3.0i can barely muster out 14mpg city...and this is without using A/C

pretty nice on the 4.8is mileage!
I get about 18-19 mpg over mixed driving about 60% highway, I have a 5 speed though and under the impression manual will yield higher mileage in mixed driving. Last tank I filled up my range was about 430 miles, lifetime consumption says 18.9 MPG on the BC

We average about 15mpg in city driving with our 3.0i. I have new O2 sensors to replaced (105k miles) and see if it improves at all.

Nice results, lflaco.
Mine will average 15.5 MPG in the city, 17 on the highway with the cruise set at 80, 20-21 with the cruise set at 55-60. I always wondered how much the giant tires hurt the MPG...
