Have the fuel economy numbers been published?

I also am waiting for the 535xi.
The pricing and fuel economy numbers are on BMW.ca. You can build/price it now.
Seems like you can't order the sport package on the 550i in canada yet. Tried to build it that way and couldn't. Also, when you equip the 535i with similar options (executive package etc.) that you get in the base 550i, the spread in price drops from something like $11k to about $5-6k. I'm mostly worried about the fuel going to $1.60+ per litre as this will be at least an 8 year car for me, and we saw those prices a year and a half ago. Not to mention that 2008 535i's and xi's are going for $10 -15k more on the used market than 2008 550i's which cost a ton more to buy new.
It tells me that the 535xi might depreciate less. At least in this market where winter seems to be half the year, and fuel is expensive.
