30.5 mpg on the OBC, 30 on the dot by my calculations.

Still had 30 or so miles till empty but didnt want to push it not knowing the area. Hoped to get 700 and send a picture to BMW. Probably could have done it if I had gone a little slower.

Wow, that's amazing! I'll see what I can get on my trip tomorrow, 245 freeway miles each way

That tank was from Iowa City to Wheeling, WV. Stopped 4 or 5 times for bathroom breaks, food, and an overnight in Columbus, OH. Other than that, the cruise was set at 5 above the limit the whole way.

I also had the fortune of a strong tailwind for all of those miles. 20+ mph directly behind me.

Wow! I'd take 30mpg. I have a trip to Portland Oregon soon - 450 miles can't wait to see what this does.

Taking my first road trip in the beast from CO>SoCal>NorCal>CO and am hoping I get over 30mpg. Currently holding steady at 25mpg with 80% highway.

I'll report back what the car says (too lazy to do the math myself) as I go along each leg of the trip.

I forgot to to add that I have > 5k miles on the car

Diesel history
So my experience has been pretty consistent with the other posters here. I've got a 2010 with 30,000 miles and have averaged 25+/- (50/50 mix) with cruise control highway hitting 29/30. I haven't had any engine issues at all and love the low end torque. Biggest headache was starting it at a ski resort when the temps were -20F the night before and I had to wait for a minute or two before I was able to start it.

I like threw diesel enough to have another one on order for delivery at the end of the month.
