Well impressed today. Took the 350i on a business trip from Gloucestershire to Herfordshire. Last time I did this I had to refill for the return trip. I did it today on less than a tankfull. Suprised, I thought I should find out the fuel consumption for the trip.
I got 29.25MPG thats a UK Gallon not US.
The journey was 125 miles A road and motorway. Two 5 mile journeys each from cold, and the return 125 miles.

Can you beat this. I my experience I am usually happy to get 20MPG.

I was using Texaco high octance fuel. I forgot to mention I also spent 30mins crawing 5 miles at Oxford which dosen't do much for Wedge consumption. HAd a blast the rest of the way though.
