I've read people getting better than 25mpg (like, 26-27mpg) on highway drives with the 40i drive, so curious what M50i drivers are getting.

My M50i has 7500 on the clock since new and the combined mileage during that entire period is 17.8. This is 95% or more non highway on perfectly level roads. I would guess that the highway mileage would be significantly more but I do not care about gas mileage.
I am simply amazed when reading posts from guys who buy an $80k BMW SUV and are then full blown anal about the mileage they get in their 45e along with all the penny pinching strategies they employ. It is ridiculous, spend this money on a high brand vehicle and then drive it like a raw egg is under the gas pedal. 
We like big V8s in cars boats etc. The gasoline saved by the oh so thrifty is that much more the meat eaters I hang with can waste.  |
Agree 100%! Gotta pay to play.
Even at $0.10 difference between 93 and 91 were only talking about $1.00/10 gallons. So less than $2.00 to fill up an X5/X6?
