My last tank of 87 octane in my 128i yielded 25.6 mpg. I live in the far suburbs...OK, the country, and do not commute.

WTF? Are you reading from the onboard computer while driving or doing the math at the pump?

I reset the MPG on the radio and go off that. I took some pictures of it at 40 and 39 MPG it was like that for almost the entire time. That MPG doesn't happen all the time though lol most of the time it will stay at 33-35

When used as my daily driver/commuter car, I average between 19 and 21 mpg. Lots of full throttle accelerations, lots of boost in the 8 to 9 psi range, lots of stop and go traffic and speeds over 80.

This past weekend I had a 200 mile drive each way with minimal traffic so I tried to see the best fuel economy I could get traveling a more reasonable speed (under 80).

I got 25.7 on the trip there and 26.8 mpg on the trip home. 100% cruise control, no stops, no full throttle accelerations, no (positive) boost (P3 recalls the highest boost, never got above 0). I had the speed set between 76 and 78, which was about as slow as I could stand it (but still fast enough to pass most cars on the road).

I hate the small fuel tank, but it really is amazing what an additional 6-7mpg will gain you in range.

It's really hard to compare results because everyone has different driving habits and different percentages of city vs highway driving. EPA tests give the MT about a 10% advantage, but few will realize that in town because those results depend on keeping the car in very high gears where there is no responsiveness. On long trips I think the DCT can get 28 mpg with the A/C on if the route is not hilly and there are very few slow downs. MT cars will shine here because it isn't such a pain to put it in 6th and cruise across the middle of nowhere.

Given I've only had my car for 1 day, with plenty(too much) of zipping around, I'm at 17mpg. 2012 135i. I'd expect the 128 to be a lot better.

Glad this thread came up, as I just took my new 135 convertible on a trip for the first time. It has about 3000 miles on it at this point and is bone stock.

On my way up to Cape Cod, about 215 miles I average 27 MPG with the top down and car loaded down with 2 people and lots of crap. I was happy.

On my way back I average 28 with the top up and the AC on about 2/3 of the time and loaded down with even more crap.

When speed limits, cops and traffic limited me to around 50-60 MPH for the first 50 miles of the trip I was around 31 MPG.

In my normal 70 mile round-trip commute in a mix of city & highway traffic I average 24-25.

Overall I am very happy with those numbers, though I probably baby it more than most of the people on this forum.
