R60 Mileage?

Ironically seems that people with All 4's seem to have better mileage than standard Countryman S. I've had mixed traffic conditions so I have hovered around 26. Coming from a Corolla I was averaging 320 miles a tank. Countryman its been about 300 miles a tank. When you fill up and the trip computer tells you hey you should get 370 a tank, kinda stabs you in the side when you don't reach it. I know stars and moons have to line up 93 octane, cruise control, no traffic, etc. I guess I expected more.

Strange, I have a manual CM All 4 2012 and I have been getting 31-32 on the highway and 27-28 around town. My combined is usually right at 30 mpg.
I live at 8000 feet, lots of hills and valleys. I usually run 75 on the highways and stop and go traffic in town.
So far no problems with this vehicle, not even effected by the recall. Hope it keeps it up!

I was very disciplined for a two-week period and drove my All4 everywhere like a wuss with a raw egg between my foot and the gas pedal. In mixed driving for 323 miles, I achieved 32.2 mpg. I'm 170lb and was mostly the only "cargo." It wasn't fun.
Then I drove for the next two weeks like I would "normally"...not hyper-aggressive, but not wimpy, either. In very similar traffic and terrain, I got 27.8 mpg for 299 miles. I consider that my expected fuel economy.

Yeah I can't do that around here. Do you have rednecks in jacked up trucks and SUVs barreling down on you all the time? I do. I live in North Carolina, birthplace of NASCAR, and people think that it must mean that they have some genetic trait that gives them the ability to go really fast in a straight line.

my first semi-long trip from mass to new hampshire...about 90 miles each way. with 93 in the tank, no passengers nor luggage and the first 10-15 or so miles city, my computer calculated exactly 30 mpg for the round trip. i have less than 500 miles on the car so it is still breaking-in. i have 17s, automatic and didn't use the sport mode. i was very pleased with the mileage for this little turbo engine.

just completed a 760 mile trip on my CMSa (non All4) from Los Angeles to San Francisco and back in the same day (long story).... anyway, I was on the gas for most of the trip which I figured I was averaging above 85+ mph.... and after the 1st fill up, I calculated around 28 mpg which wasn't bad since I was in a heavy headwind. What was disappointing was the range which is around 250 miles before it hit the last 2 bars of the fuel gauge. I tried not to even get to that point so I was gassing up around 220 miles or so. Another thing is the lack of lumbar support which is a big deal if you're spending a good 2-3 hours at a time in the seat. The seat itself is pretty comfortable but once out of the car, you'll definitely feel the lack of the lumbar support....

As for your back issues, I suggest using a full pillow (like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Duro-Med-Relax...f=pd_sim_hpc_1) for back support. The issue may not be the lumbar region, but being able to sit up straight, which is not possible with alignment of the seat with the headrest as it is. I tried the leather seats with lumbar support, and still had a problem.
