i used "d" mode over 95% of the time during the tank before my last tank and had about 240-250 miles, average 17.4 mpg.
then i used "ds" mode over 95% of the time during my last tank and had 200 miles, average 16.9 mpg :'(.
"ds" mode definitely feels better and the acceleration lag that mentioned in other posts has gone. but i gotta pay the price, about $7.5 or more per fill up :'(.

Thats the fun of driving a diesel!!
218bhp/500Nm compared with 230/300 in the 530i and 600 miles on a tank on the open road!! Only .2s difference 0 to 60mph at sea level and my altitude of 6000 feet, I smoke the 530i every time!!
Oh forgot to add that the Schnitzer ECU I have fitted increases all of that by about another 12% or so!!

Alohac,
If you have 545, it's even worse. I have 530 and I fill up every 3 days if I drive agressively, and 6 days if conservatively.
