Maybe you have the Xdrive, but I was driving through town @ 40 mph with light traffic and a few stop lights, and my scangauge showed 28 mpg average for a 5 mile drive home.

I don't use eco-mode or ASS.

My scangauge also shows about 5 psi boost while I accelerate at half throttle for a few seconds.

Most cars would get about 15 mpg under those situations.

BMW discussed a good driving method for best mileage 30 years ago.

Accelerate fast up to 2k rpm in each gear then, cruise.

Our diesel like torque at 1250 rpm makes that method easy.

I always beat everyone off line for about a block and get good mpg.
