I haven't put the gas I've purchased for the last 6 months or so into my spreadsheet but over the first 22,783 miles, I have averaged 27.2mpg. I don't drive real slow or real fast. Occasionally I get on it but usually I am just moving along with traffic. I know it's possible to get less, my wife does in her 128i automatic, but it's also possible to get respectable mileage if you drive sensibly. It is partially not trying to lead the pack all the time but it is also not operating the gas pedal like an on/off switch. Smoother is faster with better mileage.
