My 08 1 series BMW in practice when i drove like i stole it, i got 33 mpg
If i drove normal, i got 40 mpg
If i drove really for milage, i manged 43 mpg (this meant actually driving the speed limit, slip streaming and so on)

And for what it's worth, this was a very fun car...

Note, all this was measured by always filling the tank completely and marking down the odometer on each filling on my cellphone.. These mpg are not onboard computer fabrications.


I'm trading the car in for a 116 Efficient Dynamics end of this month.
It has been optimized for economical driving and has eco pro mode which supposedly adjust throttle response and some other things for added savings. I'm also getting cruise control which i never had before (and which is very handy for saving on longer trips), it also has a 1.6 Liter instead of 2 Liter diesel engine

The old one was 4.7/100km, the new one ought to be 3.7Liter / 100 Note, i never got 4.7 on the old one, i got 5.4 at best.. but it's just an indication that the new one should do even better, 50 mpg might be possible
