I used to get late twenties, maybe scrape into the thirties from my 1997 528i.

have you changed the units on fuelly to imperial gallons, Not US?

My 525d averages around 46 / 47 mpg and I don't drive it slowly.
Sit at 70mph and you will do well over 50mpg average very easily.

Spent last night reading about E39's. Seems like it could be a somewhat sensible replacement for the w124. I keep reading wildly varying reports about mpg though. Fuelly, which I assumed was fairly correct, lists it as quite thirsty, even with the smaller engines. On forums though people report 45mpg from the 520i...
Then again, if I look up my w124 e220 fuelly says 24.5mpg while I get a consistent 35, sometimes even 37 depending on how I drive.
Anyone got some real world experience?
