Yep that is right.
My 545i I've hit 30MPG a few times. Usually I'm always around 28.2 to 29.2 going about 70 to 75MPH.

I've gotten 31 mpg for highway driving after resetting the ave. fuel consumption thing on the highway. This is off a 545 on LA freeways and over a stretch of 30 miles on 5 different freeways.

I am very impressed with the mileage, but the computer is way off.
