I read about some people having issues w sensors and faulty readings. Is anyone else having such terrible mpg in city driving a 35i? Should I be surprised?
That does not sound far off if you punch it once in a while and are frequently in stop and go. Look at your average speed, and see if you are able to clock better than 20 mph. Also, has the car broken in yet? For most people it takes a good 1-2k miles before you reach that level.

When I first go the car and experimented more, I recall ruining 10 mile 24-25 mpg drives at average speeds of about 15-20 mph by punching it a few times, and brining it down to the mid teens (diesel).
