all motorway to Lancaster Morcambe, AND BACK THROUGH BIRMINGHAM AND BACK AGAIN, A WHOLE ROUND TRIP WITH 547 MILES IN TOTAL AND MY TANK WAS ON HALF OF A QUATER, SO ALMOST OUT
A PIC OF WHEN I SET AT THE BEGINNING OFF AT THE APPALLING TRAFFIC LACED M25 (Car park city it was, but the mpg was still reasonable)
M25 > ONTO M1 > ONTO M6 JUNCTION 19 (M1) > JUNCTION 34 (M6) >
TO BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION 7 (M6) > ONTO M1 > ONTO M25 > HOME
to sum it up i reckon it total motorway driving i get around 600 miles (only possible with a ecu remap!!!!) within this about 15 miles city driving, birmingham traffic in Hockley!!

In the movie "The Blues Brothers" when the Blues Brothers curse in front of the nun, (penguin), she hits them across the knuckles with a ruler!

I have 4000 km up on my 520d manual, last fill was 65.54 ltrs for 1066 km, I calculate that at 46.2 imperial mpg.
Will this improve in time?
I tend to use cruise control as often as possible and I dont drive fast,usually at the limit.
My driving would generally be 70% motorway and 30% town.
Thanks in advance for feedback.

My 2005 545 sport Manual says 19.6 mpg on the Idrive. My dads buddy let me borrow his 2004 545 non-sport Step before i bought my car and when i was driving that around the Idrive said 21.5-22 mpg. I only drive city, ive only been on the highway once and ive owned the car for 3 weeks now haha.

During the past 9 months, computing for approximately 8K mixed driving, avg mpg = 22.77mpg (tracked by actual consumption/mileage).
Tank to tank computation is generally within .3mpg of the on board computer report.
UPDATE>
Just completed a 2 day round trip from Southern NJ to upstate NY; mix of highway, some heavy stop and go traffic through construction zones, 40 miles of heavy city traffic (thus the lower avg mph), and a bit of heavy rain that slowed traffic for about one of the total 12 hours of driving. Almost 29mpg is OK with me!
