I know this news may be a little shocking to folks, but let's step back and look at the big picture.
Pre-Revision 328i MPG Estimate:
15,000 miles @ 36 mpg @ $3.99/gallon = $1,666.67
Post-Revision 328i MPG Estimate:
15,000 miles @ 33 mpg @ $3.99/gallon = $1,813.53
So basically, you'd be spending $146.97 more in fuel *IF* this decrease in MPG actually comes to fruition. Does anyone seriously want to change their car order for this small amount of difference?
Let's look at it another way ....
My '08 E92 335xi MPG Reality:
15,000 miles @ 24 mpg @ $3.99/gallon = $2,493.75
Post-Revision 328i MPG Estimate:
15,000 miles @ 33 mpg @ $3.99/gallon = $1,813.53
Annual Fuel Savings = $680.22
That's still a chunk of change, and a lot less than the $5K premium I would pay for a 335i vs. a 328i.
