DK about your model, but here's my mileage...

Have to pinch myself because I just drove my 1988 528e up to
Massachusetts and back.  On the return I topped-off and covered 342
miles (last 40 miles local) before re-topping with 12.79 gallons.  Not a
precise measure, but that clicks in at 26.74 mpg.  Maybe that's bad for
the 528e, but I'm happy considering the car has 143,200 miles, its last
major was at 95,000 and I was driving circa 72-82 mph, attaining 80 at
2700 rpm on the flats.
 
Of course, local mileage may (will) vary.
