I borrowed a BMW 1 Series 116d ED earlier this week and averaged 69MPG over a couple of days, approx 80 miles non motorway :)
Pretty impressive considering it also does 0-60 in 10 seconds (116 bhp)

But of course lets consider this is a 106 with just 57bhp. So, you'd expect it to be economical. The only thing it does is 'be economical'. It probably doesnt even have a clock.

Lets see what the mpg/bhp ratio is though shall we?

54bhp and 70mpg = 0.75 bhp/mpg ratio

231bhp and 35mpg = 6.6bhp/mpg ratio

Comparatively speaking then those 106 XND's suck down fuel :p

Your ratio system is busted!

10,000 HP and 10,000 MPG = 1 HP/MPG ratio

Must be crap having that car :D
 
That's the good thing about the 535d, really. I can blat around, crawl through the City, lots of short journeys blah blah whatever, and it just won't go below 30 MPG. For a large, heavy, automatic car with a lot of power, it's pretty impressive.
 
It's amazing not being bothered and just cruising at a steady pace making progress in quiet comfort :-P
 
Check out my astronimical diesel mpg:

I've averaged 22-27mpg since owning the golf, mostly short town journeys with a little dual carriageway here and there, best was 37mpg on a run thr black pool and back.
