i'm getting 24mpg while driving ALL freeway. I take frequent trips from San Francisco to San Diego and only average 23.7 mpg the entire trip.

edit: my 525i only has 6k miles. will my mpg increase as the car gets older?

My 525i gets 30-31mpg on freeway (assuming no traffic jam) when at 6k miles. I got 32.2mpg yesterday from San Diego to L.A. with 10k miles on the car. I usually drive 78-80 mph on freeway.

Your gas mileage seems low. Do you use premium gas (91)? Or maybe you drive too fast?

i'm driving about 70-75mph. I ALWAYS use 91 octane. Is this a problem I should bring up with the dealer? Did I not break in the car correctly? I'm not even getting 450 miles per tank.
