I don't know what 11.5 MPG is in the UK...but I'm sure there's a unit converter somewhere on the internet.
As far as being "thrown," I simply mean that I'm so very bewildered as if someone has picked me up and thrown me over a large distance, disorienting me upon landing. It means the same as saying that something "came out of left field." |

Not sure why the confusion over being thrown but I enjoyed reading your description

If my V8 twin turbo gave those terrible fuel figures, I would not have bought it, it has been consistently 26/28 UK MPG over 7000 miles. It is running over 400 BHP too.
Thats 27/ 1.2 = 22.5 US MPG

Had 40 mpg on our 1st run to Ediburgh. Returned from Edinburgh with a 1200kg caravan, and still got 35! Much more than the Disco 3, that used to be 20mpg. We've done a total of 700miles so far. Getting the winter wheels fitted this Sat.

Question - I'm sure that you have, but I have to ask... Have you reset the Avg. MPG (and Avg. Speed) by pressing and holding the Computer Info button on the Turn Signal stalk? (Alternatively, you can go into Vehicle Info, Onboard Info, Cons. and reset it.) If not, you're displaying MPG from Day 1 (or the last time it was reset).

Managed over 50mpg today over an 80 mile run along the M4 in traffic. Average was only 61mph but still pleased!

Did my super-efficient run (205 miles of motorway late in the evening) last week in strong winds and my MPG dropped from a previous best of 52mpg down to 38mpg. The roads were empty, I drove conservatively but still a significant drop.

My first long distance trip averaged over 23 mpg US but now I'm seeing about 15 - 17 mpg with my mostly short commute to work on city streets. I haven't done much highway driving lately, plus I'm driving more aggressively and using sport mode more. My take is that even though the EPA mileage ratings are decent for the 35i and you can get pretty good gas mileage if you drive in normal mode and drive conservatively, if you push your 35i and especially drive more surface streets, your mileage will drop significanlty. I should mention that I only have 4200 mi on the car so I'm hoping my mileage will go up.
