Yes and that is why people are trying to help you and bothering to give you real world stat readings and other 535d's real world mpg figures etc. Whatever.... doh.

Have you some issue? I've said already what I am doing. I have said what mileage I am doing. I've said I am driving 1 mile in traffic vs 12 at 60 on the motorway. I've said that, for the same trip, my old skoda easily got the quoted mpg. I've given as real world as possible and we concluded, some time ago, that there was something up. The car is booked in with an indi and we will go from there. So where is your issue?

Forget the quoted numbers on the BMW or Skoda.
I've explained the warm up cycle on mine..
Your car is taking far too long to get up to temperature, and over fuelling to do so. This is why you are getting poor mpg and people are saying change your stats - they are the most likely issue.
Your Indy is possibly lining you up for more work than is required imo.

Good luck - hope you get it sorted to your satisfaction.
