I'd get that checked. Since August I average approx 37.5 mpg overall and I'll get 42mpg on the motorway driving like Lewis Hamilton ! If I'm careful it'll do between 44-46 mpg. this is a 530D. I'm sure if I drove carefully everywhere I could probably get an overall figure of 40 mpg. I really love this car, it's the dogs !

Cheers
Simmo
