Gas vs diesel. Is car broken in? Are you enjoying thrilling acceleration? A/C? EcoPro? We have not seen posted pics but many 35i owners have reported 26-28 mpg for highway. Also, looks like after break-in, you do better.

Negative / Positive Factors:
- usually fully loaded on long trips. Example: 4 adults + 2 kids in the baby-seats (3rd row) + roof box for approx 3000km (1800mi) through France and Spain.
- light foot on long trips due to: kids and "vacation spirit"  and crazy number of speed-cameras all over EU these days (France the worse...)
- I try to use EcoPro only on long stretches. For cold start-off, fast driving, city-cruising I avoid the EcoPro as much as possible........

Impressive data. Your best is at US 38.5mpg! And, your overall which includes stops, traffic and city driving at US 27.7mpg is unbelievable.

Seems to be what we are hearing from everyone, that after break-in MPG improves.

You have higher avg. speed. than the other comps. Also, be mindful my results were affected by net downhill.
