I just completed a round-trip from NJ to the Atlanta area - including a side trip to the BMW Greenville SC plant and Zentrum. I set my car's trip computer at the outset and snapped this record after 1800+ miles of driving. I'm pretty OK with the overall fuel economy given that my average speed was 63.5 mph; That included lots of miles at 75+mph and a few local miles and a fair share of stop and go traffic. For the record: '07 530xi/automatic w/ 48K+ miles A/C on "auto".
