Too many other variables, not the least of which is published vs actual mileage which often varies a lot. My take is that the BMW engines are very good in this respect, and perform very close to claims. Certainly there are others that do equally well. My 330i was surprisingly fuel efficient given the acceleration capability. Even my M3 does pretty good as long as you don't "nail it"
