+1. 5k miles on my xdrive 28i. I'm not hitting sticker numbers. Pure freeway driving I'm hitting 28-30. But this is averaging 75-80 mph. I'm sure if I was going 65-70 I could hit the right numbers. But who can drive like that? Around town I'm 22-24 per tank. But that is with a fair amount of freeway mixed in as I live 20 miles from the city.

I'm also not using Eco-Pro. I find it frustrating. My Fiat could take off from a red light faster than this car with the Eco-Pro on. I did not buy a BMW to drive it like a granny.

Would I like the mileage to be better? Yes. But then I would have bought a different car.
