I wouldn't put too much faith in those numbers.

They got about the same results when they tested the GTO (15MPG), but it's not a real world number. My GTO got almost exactly the same mileage as my 135i gets on the same commute, and about 1-2MPG worse on a road trip. Either car will run on regular fuel, but neither will make rated power on less than 91.
