Fuel economy... your MPG?

[e34.535i.sport]

Hi, just a quick one but as many replies as possible would be great to get a good average! What MPG do you tend to get around town and motorway?
-(I average around 18MPG round-town and 26MPG motorway).

Cheers.

My driving is about 40% highway and 60% city. My MPG varies between 17.5 and 19 depending on how lead-footed I am and how much time I spend idling around in traffic. Haven't really established a purely highway MPG.

30% highway
68% city/traffic
2% wide open throttle

i get 15L/100km (i believe thats actually 15 or 16MPG)
Oh and i live at an altitude almost a kilometre above where i work.
535i automatic is a disgusting car on fuel for its power

Is it time for another fuel economy thread again?

Please do go ahead and search

...for example.

I average 19.6 mpg with very spirited 60% highway 40 % local driving.

This is being sharked and running on high octane.

My OBC tells me it's time for a tuneup...I think it's the original O2 sensor...just glad there's only one.

15.1 almost all city, fairly sprinted but not too bad - icky for an m20 2.5

75% city, 25% hwy. using mid grade in California, getting ~17 - 18mpg. Haven't got a chance to do real 100% hwy yet.

I'm around the same with conscienscious driving maybe closer to 23 hgy but i'd like to think with the new plugs and fuel filters i installed in my back seat i'll see an improvment....
