My friend said his gas mileage was not great (probably compared to the A4 Avant he had before the X3), but not atrocious. No idea what the numbers were, but I'm not surprised... fuel economy is not a #1 concern at BMW. A lot has to do with how one drives, but unfortunately, I find the taller awd vehicles like that use more gas for me on the highway than cars since the aerodynamics play a bigger role... around town, it's mainly the cost of accelerating the car's weight... so for me, a 9-5 is probably as bad for fuel usage around town, but much better on the highway...
