My gf just leased a 328i sedan last week and she filled up her tank again recently. She babies the car but its getting 17mpg it doesnt seem normal to me can u guys help me out at all?

Is this normal until the car is broken in?

Thank You.

17 mpg on a 328 seems a little low i think...I am getting around 15-16 miles and i have a 335i which i hit it hard from time to time everytime i use the car...Torque junky!!!!

i also get around 17mpg with average driving but when i first got the car and drove way to fast all the time i was getting 12 so its a bit of an improvement

Damn a 328 is not getting better MPG than a 335, i find that so hard to believe....I guess the N54 motor is more efficient!!!

I get about the same mileage, but I have an xi and I live in Seattle with a lot of elevation changes. Unfortunately, it always seems like I am driving uphill.

it seems that early on the gas mileage is not so great. It seems to improve slightly with age.

I have been getting 21.5 in mixed city/highway, and since I recently have been doing about 75% highway it jumped up to 22.8. I have an 328xi with 1350 miles now.
