I'd be interested in hearing what kind of MPG numbers people are getting in the 545i with automatic transmission. BMW is saying 18/26. I'm a bit disappointed in the relatively small size (18.5gal) of the fuel tank as I have a Volvo S80 T6 with a 21gal tank. With a round trip 70 mile daily commute it looks like one tank will be borderline to get me through the week. (Not a cost issue...I just hate filling up the tank constantly.)

I'm getting around 18 in the city, no real long highway drives yet so I don't have a good highway # yet. The tank is a bit on the small size, so I do find myself filling up every weekend. My prior vehicle was a suburban, where the mpg was worse, but with a 27 gallon tank, it was usually 2 weeks+ between fillups during normal commute driving.

I have put about 2000 miles on my 545i. While I have not checked the mpg very carefully, the 18/26 that BMW quotes seems quite accurate. Considering the fact that it has 325 hp, it seems to be to get fantastic gas mileage on the highway. I believe that the 6 speed auto helps in this respect.

Worst so far is between 12.5 - 13 Mpg. Very high speed driving on twisting roads.
Speeds between 100 - 200 km/h. AS, ARS and my 19" makes you smile all the time driving like this
