I had it in my XC90 and it helped gain 2-3MPG.
Not a huge deal for me, but would like to get at least what is advertised by BMW...low 20s for highway.

I don't use the eco mode, I don't like the start/stop system and eco mode activates it too often. I'm in comfort or adaptive most of the time.
I don't think 16-17 around town is too bad, My wife's X3 with the 4 cylinder gets 17-18 around town so the significantly heavier X7 isn't doing too bad in that respect. I do wish to see it get closer to the rated 25mpg highway though.
I've only got 2k miles on it so far. In past BMW's I've found the mileage tend to improve once you put 10k-20k miles on it.
