#2 of 34 2006 X5 4.4i ~~ GAS CONSUMPTION ~~ by sanjab_x5 Aug 02, 2006 (9:39 pm)
Hello All    I am new to these boards, but have enjoyed reading many of your posts. I recently purchased (2 weeks ago) a new BMW X5 4.4i (2006). I love the car, HOWEVER, I am concerned about the gas mileage I am getting with it. On the window sticker it shows the mileage as "16 / 22", however every time I fill up (24 gallons of premium petrol) I am only able to drive 290ish miles, before the yellow fuel tank indicator light goes on. I drive for maybe 10 miles, then refuel, (it takes another 24 gallons) and the same thing happens.    I live in Los Angeles, and at least half of the miles I drive are on the freeway with a average speed of 65 - 70 MPH. I know I should be getting at LEAST a good 450 miles per fillup, and I don't know what I should do.    I am spending oodles of $$$ every 4 days putting fuel in the car, and I feel that BMW has not truthfully disclosed this car's fuel efficiency. If I would have known that I was going to get 13 miles per gallon I would have not bought the V8, and would have settled for the V6.    Can someone please tell me what my options are, and what I should do? Shall I go to the dealership, and if so, what should I say? No joke, this care is costing me a lot of money.    Any help would be appreciated,    Sanjab Replies to this message: teamyonex (Aug 04, 2006 7:39 pm)

Replying to: chchoi (May 15, 2006 10:37 pm) My 2004 3 litre petrol (25000km ) gets about 17 mpg (imperial) for general driving mainly city, and about 25mpg when on country running. I think the imperial gallon is about 10% larger than the US gallon?

Replying to: sanjab_x5 (Aug 02, 2006 9:39 pm) I have an '05 6000lb Range Rover with the 4.4L engine and get 16.5mpg in mainly town driving. I'd think an X5 4.4i would do better.
