I get around 30mpg. I calculated it twice and found I get between 450 - 460 miles from a full tank of fuel. However, I do need to struggle hard to keep this figure by constantly watching the fuel efficiency gauge. As soon as I start having fun with the turbo the fuel efficiency takes a nose-dive.

Frankly I expected better because my old Alpina D10 did about the same.
I have only driven 2000 miles so far and I have not really driven hard yet.
