I'm getting 35mpg to and from work, which is 30 miles of fast A roads and some slow (30mph) town driving. On a run (motorway) I get 38 driving at my normal speed 
(about 90mph). I can get 44mpg if I drive at 70 on a run and be really careful with my right foot. The lowest average I've got is around 30.

I?m a bit obsessed by consumption and this is the 4th time I post my numbers:
I get 36 US mpg (or about 43 UK mpg) in mixed city/hwy driving.
This is with 17" standard winter traction wheels. When I use my 18" 124 runflat summer wheels consumption increases around 10%. (I have AC on all year)
I get around 1000kms on one tank to bring a new fact into the message

I hammer the sh.. out of mine and to be honest I haven't got a clue what MPG i'm getting. I just go to the petrol station fill her up and put my foot down and enjoy it as much as I can, lets face it thats what we got the car for.

My Ride: 2011 520dA coming up.
I stopped watching economics as they distract me from having fun in the car.
think I do average 9,4 l/100km now combined roads 70% highway/30% city and b roads. Have to recalc to mpg later.
Since it used to be 12l/100 when new i'm satisfied.

[/quote]Agreed. I don't really mind that I'm not getting as good as advertised
because it's a blast flooring it. I'm jjust happy I don't see the needle drop
when I'm having fun.
