No joke, I managed to squeeze -->28.3<-- non highway MPG out of mine a couple of months ago on my drive from work (30 miles, no inclines, declines) . I KNOW I pissed some people off as I was driving like grandma, but I had a buddy in the car with me and he insistedI couldn't get more than 20 MPG. ![](https://5series.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif)
Normally I get about 22 MPG between freeway cruising and the usual mash the gas to crush at the merge.

I used to get about 16 out of my 550 here in the Bay Area.

I live downtown Chicago and do virtually zero interstate cruising. If I am getting on the expressway I am throttling the hell out of her because its the only chance I really get to let it rip. In the city I find myself going 0-60 between each light because the car is so fun to let go. I average around 11-12mpg.
