Checked tonight...currently rocking 19.1 litres/ 100km....just roughly south of 13MPG...this is a blend of 90% city and 10% highway. I do not drive that aggressively...so I am really not sure how it is always this low.

In my V6 I drove aggressive and mostly city and saw 17-19 MPG. I also ran BMW full synthetic oil. Their oil meets higher specifications due to their european cars. Anyways, I also changed the spark plugs at 45,000 miles because I checked two and they seemed to be carbon fouled. (I work at a parts store so I get a discount). After I changed the plugs to an NGK Iridium, I noticed better throttle response by a bit and also my MPG started to get a bit better. Not sure why. That is just my personal experience. I was also on stock 18s.
