What’s your mpg as my 4.4 did a circa 250mile trip yesterday and it’s showing average 25.8 mpg on the dash - and I didn’t drive like a pensioner either. I don’t think that’s too bad for an old V8.
The only thing I do differently is have the tyre pressures up at 40psi.

I don't recall ever reaching 25mpg on mine, close on motorway miles, but it was a while ago now. For the pleasure of a V8, I'd suffer pretty much any mpg. I don't imagine any X5/6 ownership is about fuel economy though, imo.
BTW, not all pensioners are the same

That sounds pretty good for such a large engine and heavy vehicle. No one really buys vehicles like ours for stellar mpg. I’m getting 33-35 out of the X6 at present, more on a motorway, but that has meant slowing up a bit and doing more reading the road better.
Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.-

Haven't driven the X6 since March, I've been in Greece since April. Maybe the '40d' is more fuel efficient, I've not had those mpg figures from a '35d'.
The Touareg I have here plods around at an official max of 50kph, though one newly widened and resurfaced stretch, maybe 2k long is now 60kph, which is utterly pointless.
