Nice. My mpg during one of our hard driving meets is more like 11.

Looks like you have one of those every day.
Yeah, I've had the car exactly one month today and I'm still giddy over how fast this thing is! I came out of a Lexus GS300 and there's absolutely no comparison.

2006 525i
26.4 currently
25.5 on average
31+ on Highway trips

It must be paying me back for its first year of life in Germany... averaged over 100mph to and from work and I know my MPG was in the toilet.
147mph top speed on trips. (I backed off at that with just a little six banger under da hood)
So I'm guessing these things have no speed limiters???
They are usually limited to 155 mph but with a 525 not sure if you run out of motor before you get there...

And last time I looked I was averaging 21.3 mpg

2008 535xi, 22.4 mpg, 91 octane, mostly city driving. I get 28-29 mpg on the highway at "normal" speeds. Still got 26.6 mpg on a long trip at, um, somewhat higher than normal speeds for a California freeway.

Damn, that is really night and day.

Welcome to a car that actually handles and feels connected to the road (although it lacks a Mark Levinson sound system option)

Hahahaha

I use the Techron fuel additive 2000 miles ago. I think it works pretty good. I get good MPG and my rough idle is GONE.
