We really drive our cars cause we love it that much. At D drive i avg around 27- 28mpg mostly highway, if i put it on steptronic, it goes down to 23-24, DS mode is about the same 23-24. Also depends on how fast people go with their 128i and how aggressive they drive. In Cali everyone avgs at about 75mph on the normal lanes, and on the fast lanes we usually avg 85-90. I avg around 80+ everyday short sprints would be at 105mph tops. Its seriously not what car you drive its how you drive your car. The extra HP doesnt make a jack load of difference, it only makes a difference when you go up a hill or when you initally take off from a red light. Other than that the mpg should avg the same as 128i in comparison to 135i. Obvioulsy if you avg like 65-70 mph you would get the max amount of mpg, but who would do that unless you are super low on gas like how i usually am on my way back from work.
