If you own an X don't worry about it.
Nothing going to change so the question is moot.

Lighten your right foot. Drive smoothly. Use cruise control when conditions permit on freeways (no major mountains in NJ so hills are not an issue).
I averaged 8.7l/100km (27 miles to the US gallon) with a 335i in mixed driving, including a friend who was determined to unleash 306bhp many times. I can get 21 miles to the gallon in mostly suburban driving in the X3.

Here are seven tips that could save you a few $$$$$....1-) REFUEL EARLY IN THE MORNING, IF POSSIBLE RIGHT BEFORE THE SUN COMES OUT..... 2-) DON'T REFUEL IF YOU SEE THE FUEL TRUCK PUTTING FUEL IN THE TANKS OF THE GAS STATION. WAIT AT LEAST A DAY FOR THE CONTAMINATED FUEL TO SETTLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TANKS BEFORE REFUELING AT THAT GAS STATION....3-) BMW RECOMMENDS TO USE CHEVRON PREMIUM TYPE FUEL....4-) TRY TO USE MORE FREEWAYS......5-)REDUCE THE APPETITE FOR SPEEDING (HARD TO DO WHEN YOU DRIVE THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE!)...6-) USE YOUR CRUISE CONTROL MORE OFTEN...7-) AVOID ANYTHING THAT CAUSES DRAG ON YOUR CAR, LIKE USING YOUR WINDOWS DOWN WHEN USING THE FREEWAY.

Number 1 there is a crock and misconception. The EPA and other agencies did tests on that 'rumor', the average temp of fuel coming through the system is exactly the same. The density does not change.
