118i '06 auto MPG

[mikey-r]

Just did my good deed and filled up the Mrs' 118i and happened to be fiddling with the OBD and found the MPG was just over 28mpg from a tank.

Now, she's only had the car a month or so and may still getting used to it, but I thought these things were good for mid 30's?

Her commute is 10 mile each way with a fair amount of traffic and no real long runs... does this sound reasonable or should I be looking for a fault somewhere (MAFs?)?

Can anyone let me know what MPG they're getting from their 118i?

missus has a brand new 116i auto which is only doing about 25mpg, although only 700 miles on the clock so far.
Am expecting it to get better with more miles under its belt.

All her trips are around town, computer said 35mpg on a 70mph run recently though

I have a '09 manual 118i and the computer is reading 36.6mpg over the course of 12k miles. I doubt you'll get anywhere near that in an auto with only a 10 mile commute.
