I get around 24mpg in the city with my upgraded wheels/tires (265 rear 235 front Mich PSS) which is a bit less than I got with the regular OEMs. Although, I just got 34mpg on the highway on my return trip home yesterday cruising at 78mph. I think the cold weather made my tires have less rolling resistance perhaps? |

I got 34.6 yesterday for a 2 hour interstate trip at 78 mph on eco-mode on cruise. I will be duplicating the trip again tonight, so I can update again. This is on a 2014 328i with sports package and rwd using 93 octane fuel holding 78 mph the whole way except to pass.

I have a 335 w/ MPPK and MPE. On a per trip basis of about 50 miles on eco pro, I average 30mpg, mostly on highway. On a per tank basis I average 25-26mpgs.

I drive a 2014 BMW 328D, not sure if you want info on the diesel model
but so far I have driven 8000+ miles, and I'm about 39MPG combined miles and highway. Everytime i fill up my tank the # of miles I can drive keeps increasing, now one tank says it'll give me a little over 600 miles. A few weeks ago, I took a road trip from LA -> San fran, drove an average speed of 70mph on the way up north, got about 43MPG, used up about half my tank of diesel. when i drove down, i drove faster, i averaged about 90mph on the 5 coming down, and i was impressed, i still drove 40MPG. the diesel engine is actually pretty economical. |

Presumably the US cars read MPG using a smaller gallon so are about 20% more efficient than they look. |

My 328i only has a tad over 3k miles, but I'm seeing 24-25mpg on my commute (5 miles one way, "around-town" not-quite-urban type driving) and 32 mpg on the freeway easily. On 100% freeway measurement I can get 34 easily. Stretching I'd bet 36 but haven't recorded higher than 35 yet.

I average 22.2 MPG overall consistently and I had the car for almost a year now.
Mostly in comfort mode though I often drive spirited (i.e. Like to pass people and not stay on right lane). I would say 60 highway 40 city. dL |

I have driven a 320d (US 328d) for 1 year now and have calculated the fuel consumption to compare with the computer in the car.
Average (real) consumption during these 12 months is 4.95 l/100 km ~ 47 mpg (US), according to the car computer 4.7 l/100 km ~ 50 mpg. The computer gives 5% lower consumption than real. The lowest consumption for a single trip with the car was on a commuting home from work, with combined city and highway driving during 45 minutes. 3.7 l/100 km ~ 64 mpg, as seen in the photo below. |

I've got the 14' 328i xdrive and drive 90 miles or so per weekday, nearly all of it highway. I use Ecopro mode quite a lot and cruise around 75mph. My onboard computer registers an average of 27.9mpg but the Eco analyzer shows I get 36-39mpg regularly when cruising to and from work. The last tank of fuel went to 363miles and I was at just below a quarter tank. When I went to fill up at the petrol station it took 11.8gal.
I don't push it often, too much traffic around me to let it really breathe. I have about 6k miles on it. So there you have a comparison. Cheers
