I have an 07 525i and am averaging 26mpg overall. I have all stop-and-go traffic to work. Highway mileage is 35mpg at 75mph. I will gladly give up some fuel economy to have a car that is a pleasure to drive and not a death trap in an accident than have a bottom line vehicle, like a Prius, just to save a few dollars at the pump.

Maybe I am not driving hard enough 
because I am consistently getting 24.7 mpg in my 2004 530i. Now that is with 50/50 HWY driving, but its HWY driving in Las Vegas, which is oftentimes very congested.
