What works for me is to pretend there's a rock on top of my foot and I can't get it off. 19mpg in nearly all local and 2-lane, same as my E46 330.

My 128i just got 27 MPG with mixed city/highway driving. Once it had a few thousand miles on it the mileage should improve a little.

My 128i got 30.9 mpg (on the car computer, reset after filling the tank) on an RT from DC to NC beaches and back. On I95 and I64, I was maintaining a steady 77mph (a smidge above the limit, but slower than most folks) in the right lane. On the NC roads, I stayed at 7 to 8 mph over the limit. I am hoping for slightly better economy over time. But like someone mentioned, it is alot more fun to zip around. (And I still get about 24mpg...)

I have used these techniques before for big savings when it was absolutely necessary. Once, when I was a teenager (about a million years ago), I had to drive from DC to Columbus Ohio on 20 bucks. I used every trick in the book to improve my mileage...coasting down long hills in neutral, tailgating trucks, driving super conservative. I sweated out the last hundred miles or so, but I made it with a couple bucks in my pocket.

Im getting great economy to date.
Best of 38.7 MPG over 75 miles of 50-70mph A roads and consistently solid 37.6 over a 360 mile 70-80MPH motorway slog. In fairness I do that many miles Im good at driving smoothly and economically and planning ahead but its still surprised me.
