Hehe! It's a brand new engine with a tight drive-train so I don't expect to see the car's true mpg once it's broken in. OTOH, once it is broken in, I might be more inclined to use the car the way it was designed to be used! BMWs are made to be driven, right?

Today, I clocked 14.4mpg with some freeway but driving in 85-90 degree temps. I put about 200 miles on the car so far so this mpg reading isn't disturbing but I'll be watching it closely over the next several months just to see whether or not it changes much as the system goes through the break-in cycle.


I'm going to predict that I'll average somewhere around 15mpg when all is said and done but that's yet to be seen. I know one thing - I'm gonna have a blast owning this beast.
