2013 128 Coupe  [0.00]
I drive a mix of highway and traffic (commute into Boston) which consistently yields 25MPG. If I have a tank that's mostly highway, I get about 27 (at 75-80MPH).

2009 135i; getting 20mpg around town running Shell/BP 93 octane. I can get 22mpg if I drive conservatively, taking advantage of fuel cutoff on decel instead of using the brakes.

I average 20 - 22 mpg on 93 octane, completely stock, driven hard, more than half highway.

When I got the car the average read 15.4.
I guess the previous owner and I may have different definitions of hard driving.

Good to see real world FE, and it is not too bad. My Civic Si gets 9.5 l/100 km, or 25 mpg in town.

Very small sample size...just picked up a 2011 135i Friday and in the 200 miles of mostly spirited driving since I'm averaging 16.8 mpg...hopefully it goes up from there...

67k miles on my 09' 135i. I get about 27-30MPG highway and 20-23 city. Only use top tier gas, there is a difference in gas. I used to run lubricity testing on all major fuel brands in college. I drive sporty, but not WOT. Also, I've had an intake valve cleaning performed which seemed to improve MPG by 1-2 and how the car feels in the higher RPMS when I do get on it.

Update on my 2010 135i 6-spd manual with about 13,800 miles (N54). I use the app "Road Trip" on a iPhone to calculate mileage, not the OBC, although they match up nearly identically for overall average mileage, 23.14 mpg since taking possession of the car in SC 1/10 (PCD). The last year has yielded a bit higher overage average, 23.83 mpg. I admit in the city, once at operating temp, I do a lot of skipped shifts and rarely run much above 2K rpm. Shell 93-oct exclusively. The only not stock items are a Meisterschaft Touring HP axle-back and an iCarbon diffuser.

This average doesn't sound that impressive, but considering there's a great portion of city stop 'n go driving, I'm not displeased. On Interstate trips, the highest I've ever seen is 27 mpg (running 3k rpm with a/c); again, this is calculated between fill-ups, which I might add with a small tank isn't that far apart. :P
