I'm seeing 27mpg AT THE PUMP on my 15 mile commute in traffic where a 2.0T A4 only gets 22 or so mpg. I can see 34-36 on the highway as well but that's not what I usually drive. This is in Comfort as well. In Eco Pro I see a bit over 30 on the same route.

These numbers also include the time spent idling the car waiting to pick up people for my carpool, 3 block drives with 4 people in the car during lunch, etc. There is no way I'd get 27mpg in a 328i. In fact I had one as a loaner and I got 20mpg before I returned it.

Note the guy above who says that he's getting around 20mpg on his 135i -- that's the kind of situation I'm in with my commute. I mean I'd love to artificially drive another route just to inflate my mpg number for you guys, but that's not what I use my car for. I'm not sure what kind of car is going to get 34mpg on this kind of route.
