My Ride: 2007 550i..... ex
So this is what happens when you drive in the city (San Francisco) in sport manual. The city is full of up and down hills, tight traffic areas and tons and tons of stop and go lights... and shifting no higher than 3rd gear.... Granted that I coulda just kicked back in D mode but what's the fun in that, it was a nice sunny day and I felt like stretching her legs a bit, yeah from light to light 
Anyways I took a peek at the trip computer and was like wow, gotta get a shot of this:

I've noticed that driving it at slow speeds really drinks up the petrol at ?1.22 ($2.42) a litre its pretty impressive.
I've only had it a few days and I have yet to see the mpg constantly shows below 9.2 driving around town. I took it down a dual carriage way for a bit and the range went up. I explained to the passenger thaat my car is actually making fuel now and he believed it. Well he was my 5 year old nephew.
I'll see what numbers it shows when I get to the track.

Yeah traveling can be ineffective and expensive and very pleasant at the same time

That's the good thing about diesel engines, no matter how hard you try, you can never achieve such astronomical figures
