What was the best/worst mileage you've gotten in your E60?

The best mileage I've ever gotten was 32.1mpg in my 535xi. I was traveling from Kansas to Oklahoma, it was completely flat and I had my cruise control set. I was probably going slightly down in elevation too. It was like I couldn't have asked for any better conditions when it came to mpg.

The worst I've gotten was 12 mpg, same car, heavy traffic and when it wasn't heavy I was accelerating hard.

Best - 26.2 (flat highway trip)
Worst - 13.something - by far the most fun tank of gas yet!

I just recently changed my sparkplugs at 79k miles. I was getting about 14 mpg in the city, now it is 19.6. I don't normally drive highway miles so no data there unfortunately...

2004 525i.
