So for me personally, coming from the D, there's no reason to think about switching to the F30.

Out of curiosity, do you know your trip computer average speed over the course of those 30-32 mpg tanks? And is that mpg from the trip computer or hand calculated?
I love the concept of the D's too. But they don't offer them with manuals so they are not on my radar.

When I first got the car I compared the trip computer to my actual calculations and they were quite close.

My 30-32 averages typically show 40-45mph as the average speed.
