Now I don't feel so bad my 50i running adaptive 50/50 is about 17.9 sometimes 18.... Much better than when I first had it at 11mpg.

Is this ok, because Gas is free in the US??

Pro: Not in Birmingham town you don't

Seriously that is really very good mate 45... heavens never acheivable before.

Are you fibbing a bit? My 740xd much lighter than yours has a 44mpg average 70/30 motorway.

I've got a Diesel 30d.

In the city, which is blended urban and some freeway driving, I get around 28-30mpg.

On the highway I get between 38-40mpg.

Driving mode obviously makes a big difference, and since changing default driving mode to "Adaptive", my mileage has dropped slightly in the city - probably around 28mpg, but I'm willing to wear it, I cant stand Comfort or Eco mode - feels like I'm driving a 2-litre (20d) Diesel instead of a 3-Litre (30d).

X5 3.0d

So I get approx 38 mpg & that calculated, not based on trip computer

It's pretty decent

I was getting 48mpg from my 420d

No Fibbing,
I have got 45mpg on M1 motorway. 85 mile trip. 20 mile stretch of roadworks with 50 mph limit and about 67 mph on the rest of the journey in eco pro.
Purposefully took it easy to see the most i could get. Not representative of real world driving but the 30D will achieve this in the right circumstances.

Agreed

M6 has a large stretch of 50 road works. I imagine staying at around 65 and then 50 would achieve mid 40's

Wow - these are good affordable numbers... BMWs are good for MPG - but the F15 was SHOCKING for MPG - like 26 average for the 30d ( UK )

If it's like my G30 then I'm due to some large improvements in mpg. That went from 40mpg to mid 50s when I got over 10k on the clock (obviously instantly! As it went from 8k to 14k, gradually improved).

Currently only getting 30 mpg, 35 over longer runs

S drive 40i. Mostly city driving but lots of hills, I get around 18mpg in comfort mode. Haven't seen a big difference in comfort mode. Likely because of all the hills around me.

Our 30d is currently around 32mpg (UK) with a mix of town and short motorway runs (<15miles), with a few longer runs bringing it up 2-3 mpg as the average.

Best figure on screen was in the first 700 miles, on our return journey from the Peak District back up the M6 - average showing 47.7mpg (wife took the photo). Well impressed, even with it being the on-board figure and still being run in.
