That is good,
How many miles on your car? or after how many Miles this is expected?
Mine 528 xi has 3000M, avarage 25mpg.
Do you use any Fuel addiitives /which Octane you use?
No additives, just premium (93 in US) from BP or Exxon. Reliable companies in my mind for quality. I have 15K on the car after this trip. I also got the same milage around 7K. too

How many speeding tickets with 85 mph?
I have never gotten a speeding ticket! The Valentine One has saved me many times. Those were four hundred dollars well spent.

530's generally get better mileage than 525's (at least they did with the M54 engines, not sure on N52's). It was always this way with 330's vs. 325's as well.

I now have 2700 miles on my 530xi. Just returned from a 600 mile trip through Southern Vermont and the Berkshires, with a fair amount of hill climbing, but no spirited driving (my wife was with me). Averaged 27.3 mpg.
