X1 Manual Versus Automatic Milage
What is odd is that the manual transmission on the X1 gets 5% better gas mileage than the Asin 8 speed auto. With all other BMW's, the ZF 8 speed auto gets superior mileage than the stick. Is the ZF transmission that more efficient than the Aisin? To add more confusion to the question, when Acura went to ZF 9 speed ( Transverse engines ) in the MDX their mileage went down compared to their own 6 speed.

I don't take fuel estimates too seriously. It's not an exact science like the experts would have you believe. Wait about a year and check fuelly.com to see what real people are getting for gas mileage.
