I've had my 09 X for a month today. I've put 1800 miles on it so far with a rolling average of 29mpg over the entire time (5spd stick). The last couple tanks have been 31mpg. Leaving the AC off helps, I don't like AC so I don't use it, I've turned on the defroster to clear the windshield in really hard rain and you can watch the MPG just plummet. The highest I've had my dash guage is 34mpg over about 50 miles on a trip through Western Mass. I'm about as happy as I can be. I'm sure it will go down a little in a few weeks. I'll be putting a Thule rack up top, I've got the naked roof right now.
