The R56 would probably use less fuel than your R53 if you listened to its gear change suggestions. 30mph in 5th isn't an issue in the R53, so I would expect the same from the R56. In 5th gear the revs are lower at 30mph than they are in 4th, so less fuel will be used.

thats what i thought and thats how i use to drive my r53 but i found that keeping the revs between 2500 and 3000 gets me the best mpg and i have found the same thing with r56, tried driving in the gears it was suggesting and it just seemed to drink the fuel...
