Some of you guys are getting far better mpg than me, and I think I drive mine really sensibly. My average after 15,650 miles is 26.5mpg, measured myself, tank brim to brim. However, in my defence, I live at the top of a hill and wherever I set off to I immediately drop 460 feet, which has to be regained when I return. There are hills in all directions here in Yorkshire. My drive to work is up 125ft then descend 590ft, distance 4 miles - I get about 28mpg. The same journey in reverse I get about 16mpg ! Last weekend I drove 40 miles from Bingley to York which is about as flat a journey as I can find and I made 42mpg on the computer which I was delighted with. My best ever full tankful was 40.6mpg over 443 miles driving to and around Norfolk. This car is only 0.5mpg thirstier than my previous 440i.
I'm not unhappy with that, but I can't imagine getting anywhere near 50, living where I do. I'm looking forward to comparing my forthcoming M340i Touring LCI with MHT. Graph shows tank-to-tank full.
