My kinda gal
I’ve just taken delivery of a 2008 BMW 535d Touring with only 600 miles on the clock. The consumption readout says 30mpg at 60-70 mph on the motorway. My previous 2007 335d Touring (pre-Efficient Dynamics) could manage 41mpg. What are your thoughts about these figures?

E.N. later discovered that his I-Drive was set to record fuel consumption in US miles per gallon. Switching to Imperial gallons instantly improved the economy reading. A useful tip to BMW owners recording poor economy.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
