Teleskier, are you driving on mostly level terrain? Or is it usually hilly?
My Prius would get 52 mpg on a level highway, whereas I'd get only around 34 near my house as there are a good number of hills, and my trips were usually fairly short.
Even though I would coast as much as possible downhill, it didn't come close to making up for all the gas consumed going up.
My X1 arrives this week and I do not expect to get 24 City driving around my hilly neighborhood, but sure hope I can get 34 mpg on a long flat freeway.
I had a 2006 M3 that I recall was rated something like 14 city/19 highway (on the sticker...paid gas guzzler, etc.), but got 27/28 on the highway and 19.8 mpg average city (non-hilly back then). Not bad!
