I will also have to say that turbo lag has been very minimal so whatever BMW did in delaying availability due to this seems to have helped.
You have a 22.5 gal tank. Each 1/4 on the gauge is about 5.5 gals. So 3/4 tank is about 16.5 gal divided into 200 miles is about 12.2MPG so you digital readout is pretty accurate. I know the one on my X6 is incredibly accurate.

MY X6 MPG is going up about 1MPG every 1k miles. Started at 15-20 as per the sticker. Now with 3-4k miles on the truck, I am getting 15-17 city and 21-24MPG hwy.
