As someone who has never had any trouble in meeting a quoted MPG when driving in the most efficient way possible, I am wondering what I have to do to get my 330D to return over 40MPG. A 200 mile roundtrip, mostly motorway in Eco Pro and rarely exceeding 70, combined with a bit of b road blasting in between (about 50 miles total), my average was about 37. Mixed driving with occasional bits of heavy throttle keeps it at 37. So far the car has done about 700 miles so maybe it will loosen up a bit. My experience is that to get it to average even 40 (nevermind 50) on any meaningfully long stretch requires me to drive in a way that is totally unrealistic, and in a way that I will never, ever do.
