Nice! Thats about what I've been getting since I got my truck a year ago. It peaked one time at 18.5 all highway @ 70 mph. It's gone down a little since I got the performance computer (but thats cause you can't install a performance computer and not have a heavier foot). Then I lost about .5 mpg when I got the bigger tires.

my friends 96 318 got over 20mpg when he drove to vegas from here in milwaukee, this of course was after all new fluids, new fuel pump, new AC compressor, a new cv-shaft (the old boot was ripped, and the fluid leaked it dry) and a full bed of stuff. I wouldn't doubt if he averaged 75mph the whole way either...
Before the fuel pump started dying, i got 17-19mpg with camping supplies for a week and a fully loaded 14ft boat (and heavy-a trailer...) and i'm a lead foot
