But I've gotten as high as 40mpg in ECO pro on the highway. I use the cruise control to maintain and adjust my speed. I've been very impressed.
I agree 100%. I had the Auto start/stop coded off or as BMW says "remember last setting" which for me is off. Just don't like this feature at all. If you do go to Eco pro you have to turn the A.S.S feature off again since the car will default to A.S.S in eco mode.
