Lucky or unlucky?

Your 20mpg for 75-80mph highway is way better than what I'm getting as is your 14-16 average.

I think it is because I do 90% highway and back road driving at speed that helps. I have gotten almost 400 miles on a tank on a long trip so I think my computer is working. I do not do much if any stop and go or city driving. Of course the faster you drive it the more gas it uses. But I bet city driving really drives down milage.....Steve

those are both too high. 12.5 is a solid avg' driving "hard"ish..

I'd say having the ///M for only the cost of the fuel is pretty lucky

You are 100% right. It was just a bit of a shock after my E53 3.0d ... seems to use about twice the fuel and premium petrol costs an arm and a leg here.

12ish as a average seems about right. Awesome drive. I'm going to cry when I have to give it back.
