My Ride: 09 M5 (E60) Interlagos blue, Silverstone interior, with cold weather package. Adaptive Xenon headlamps and adaptive brake lights, hud, comfort access. Comfort seats, basically fully loaded.
I saw this topic over on m5 board, thought it'd be cool to know what our members are getting outta their beasts (MPGs) in the city and on the highways? Chime in w/ your thought even if you dun drive one.
I drove mine like an absolute Granny on a wheelchair this morning from westbury to queens and got 21.5 mpg on the highway
. City my car usually do around 9-10. I only got 5K miles on it.
Lets hear your side.

Come on...are you really asking this? lol j/k
Okay for the sake of the thread...
I usually get between 11-13 with mixed city/highway driving. (9-10 when I'm hard driving)
I was able to get as high as 20 on an all highway trip.
I know I spend about $600+ a month on gas. I stopped caring about MPG at this point.

According to the EPA, we rate a C- on their fancy new MPG grading curve. Well, at least we got a passing grade.
Thankfully, the elites in Washington are there to inform us rubes in such a simple letter-grade scale which cars get better mileage ... you know, because those MPG figures are soooo difficult to figure out.
Sigh. Make no mistake ... the bureaucrats are in charge.
