This thread is useless, everyone drives differently on different roads.

I get 18 MPG with my N55, I would get more with an N20.

Tiny, meaningless sample size?

50,000 mile cumulative average is 22.3 MPG, which is mixed commuting in a major city with bad traffic (Portland, OR) and lots of highway cruising.

I mean I'm getting 23.3 in a n55 in Boston with same conditions. Just doesn't seem right that they are so close

24mpg combined, about 60/40 mix of city/highway, my long time average speed says 31mph, so figure I am not doing a ton of long highway trips. I don't drive like a maniac but I get on it with the usual onramp shots and impatiently passing Prius and Korean soccer moms in Porsche Cayenne's doing 50 in the fast lane..

On a recent trip to Vegas from LA and back, almost all highway, I got 36.

Interesting. The original ratings are below...from fueleconomy.gov.

Also, someone else was wondering too: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=832316

My 335 gets better mileage than your 328 in very similar conditions. Are you going WOT all the time? I am getting around 19.5.

The onboard computer always reports 2-3 mpg better than manual calculation from what I've observed.

Also, I think those who drive longer per trip might have better mileage as I've noticed my car using less gas when the engine has warmed up. I'd imagine there is quite a delta between the short commuter who calculates mpg manually vs the long commuter reporting off the computer.
