On a pure highway trip, I get about 26 MPG at about 80MPH. It climbs to about 28 if I do 70, but that doesn't happen very often. On a normal tank of gas, I get about 21 with about a 60/40 city/highway split. It will be highly dependent on your right foot.

I taken 5 trips between Seattle and Phoenix in my 530xit and each time at the end of the trip the computer reads 27 MPG. I'm wondering if the 535xi get better mileage than my 530..if so, I'm ready to upgrade!

On 3 or 4 360 mile trips (without traffic), I get 28 to 30 and that's hitting 100+ in some stretches. I was amazed the first time i checked my trip computer. Powerful and efficient!

I dont get anywhere close to that with my 535xi. During the week, I do mostly highway, but up and down the hills of Rt 280 in North Jersey. On the weekends, I am running kids around town - lots of short trips. I get 17 mph if I am lucky. My car has about 3300 miles on it.
