I assume to get the same with the F80, i.e 18.5 mpg.

You get 24 mpg vs the EPA 18 mpg city rating on your ATS. So I would except you to get 6 mpg over the 17 mpg city on the F80. I.e 23 mpg average.
I'm getting 15+ average for my urban/suburban driving in my E92; 18-19 would make me satisfied. I only average under 200 miles a week, though.
