not bad for an older engine I would say. I have the n52 NA straight 6. this fuel economy is achieved from mostly city driving (roughly 60-70%) and generally pretty aggressive on the throttle.
I think that's exactly the point.

I've seen at most 600 miles, but after a long, efficient trip. No way I'd ever get that though.
