23 MPG... noooo waaaay! If you drove a flat 840mls with no traffic.. you might be lucky and get 18-19 (X5 is really bad on gas!) and thats high.... but we all know you didnt run flat and any where you go... there is no way you wont run into mountains in 840 miles and that eats up more gas.. lol not to bash you but there is no way you got 23MPG!

P.S. My first trip in my X5 was awsome and I went up to the mountains near Sacramento valley. ^_^

No bad math here. 420 each way, north to south thru Maryland, WVA & VA some Hwy 340 rt 7 and hwy 81. My calculator came out w/22.7. The trip computer came out w/22.8. I rounded up the additional couple tenths. The final test, filled up in East TN, 20 mi to VA line. Stopped at exit 227 in VA, topped off. Required 10.5 gal.
