BMW X1 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	Fuel economy was a "why to buy" with the original BMW X1. Probably owing to its additional height, in the EPA's tests the new X1 rates one mpg lower on the highway but the same in the city, for a still very competitive 22 city / 32 highway. These are good numbers for a quick all-wheel-drive (AWD) crossover with plenty of room for four people and their stuff. Though smaller and less powerful, the Audi Q3 scores lower, 20/28. The Mini Clubman, with the same engine and transmission but without AWD and with less weight and frontal area to push through the atmosphere scores a little better, 24/34. Within the class only the Mercedes-Benz GLA does better, and then only in city driving (24/32). In my driving the X1's trip computer ususally reported suburban averages around 26 mpg, but as low as 23 in harder driving and as high as 31 when driven in what I call "Prius mode." On a 70-mph highway the trip computer reported a two-way average just over 30. These numbers are a little better than those I observed in the old X1. see full BMW X1 review

Cadillac DTS Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Sedan 275-horsepower 4.6L V8 4-speed automatic FWD	I bought this car almost specifically for my "road" car, for trips, but do occasionally use it around town. I don't know how the other reviewers are driving their cars but I get what I think is great mileage, mid-teens around town and 28-29mgh on trips/hwy at 75MPH. I do try to drive easy to enhance my mileage. see full Cadillac DTS review
2006	4dr Sedan 275-horsepower 4.6L V8 4-speed automatic FWD	Great Milage for the level of comfort, 25 plus on trips. see full Cadillac DTS review
2006	4dr Sedan 275-horsepower 4.6L V8 4-speed automatic FWD	Great on the highway. At 65 I get a consistant 25mpg. The city is an entirely different story. In stop and go city driving, the best I've ever gotten is 10mpg. The average is 8mpg. The EPA estimates 17 in the city. They are off their rocker. This car sucks gas in city driving. Stay away unless you have tons of money or own an oil refinery. see full Cadillac DTS review

Cadillac DTS Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Sedan 275-horsepower 4.6L V8 4-speed automatic FWD	Terrible in the city. 8 mpg on average. At least it takes regular. see full Cadillac DTS review
2006	4dr Sedan 275-horsepower 4.6L V8 4-speed automatic FWD	City gas mileage is pathetic. Since new I was lucky to get 10 mpg in the city, but in stop and go it's 8 mpg. When the car was newer, I took it to the dealer, and they checked everything out. I was told that it's a big V8. The Northstar engine is an embarrassment. see full Cadillac DTS review
