BMW X5 30d - Fuel MPG and monthly costs?

[Seemo49]

Whats everyone monthly cost on fuel for their X5?

We paid £120 which gave me 551miles and it only lasted a week!

Is this the norm?

My 30d averages 600 miles to a tank. 55 litre tank @ £1.85 = £101ish I think. I get through 3 tanks a month, so you do the math.

We have a 2016 X5 30d (66 plate). Average over the last couple of years/20k miles is 31.7mpg.
Short school runs / local trips etc = 25mpg or less
Long runs at 75mph or less = 35-38mpg
Long runs on the continent with a roof box = not so good!

Wonderful car though!

Not as efficient on short journeys as I'd expected !

I make that 36 MPG (based on average price of £1.75/l this week) which sounds totally reasonable for a 2+ ton car.

I do around 1,500 miles per month in my F15 40d at around 32mpg, which is around £350 per month with current diesel prices £1.80 per litre currently in my area

Which model do you have? F15 diesels have an 85 litre tank

27mpg in our 19 plate g05 30d. Mostly short journeys.

No, most people don't drive that far each week. I did in the past, but the company car/fuel card took care of those issues.

UK average is just 7500 miles per annum.
