You are talking Imperial gallons, right? Still, yeah, about 20 is right, may be a little worse than normal but many factors affect economy. As great as these cars are, economical they are not! You can improve it by following the usual tips, most of all drive it like there is a raw egg under the gas pedal.

When I last calculated it out, my 89 740 turbo was getting 23 MPG highway and mixed highway/town. I'm sure I get around 21 in town. Mine is a stick shift with a 3.55 rear end. Auto turbos have a 3.73 rear (most of the time) and a non-locking torque-converter. My brother swapped his 91 240's auto out for a manual (kept the 3.73) and saw a significant improvement. He hovers right around 25mpg driving on back roads a lot.
