  • i've only used mine around town at the mo and i'm seeing about 15mpg :blink: might take it for a run on the motorway soon and see what it does then?? hopefully see a better figure there as its a 3.2

  • Your are correct, I must do a disclaimer here. This was conducted on my privately own peace of road, which the road traffic act does not apply. And even if it did, I would just ignore it and get on

LIAR !!

Dabsy, are you saying that my disclaimer maybe bending the truth slightly?

Rules are there to be broken dude... Or we wouldn't need them :lol:

I was getting a shade over 30mpg until around Christmas and I'm now getting around 27. This is a mix of A road and dual carriage ways and I measure it be calculating the fuel taken to brim the tank against the mileage that covered.

Car is a 2004 330ci and replaces my temporary Lexus is200. Funnily enough getting the same mileage despite having 50% larger capacity, 50% more power and 100% more enjoyment.

cheers

well round the town about 25 but on a run fepending on speed anywhere between 40 and 40..

I have a 328

Wish I could get NEAR those numbers mate...

(Note to self - Leave Sport Mode alone)

I managed to stick to 70 for a short period yesterday. The car was showing 34 mpg, the only trouble is I can't stick to 70 for long. The 328 has done 134,000 miles, never gets serviced, rarely gets an oil change and is generally abused by my right foot. Despite all this it will still go off the clock and accelerates like a cruise missile. What a !Removed! car,who said BMW's are expensive to maintain?

The computer on my 323 is saying 24.1mpg. I can't really say what im getting though as ive only put petrol in it once so most of that will be what the previous owner was getting. I can keep the economy needle around 30mpg if I drive carefully though

getting about 18mpg in an X5

Average after Mondays abuse is 49.5, gonna reset it and see what I average on the way home at 70. Tank recons I've got another 650 miles :-D

Why do I only get 19.4mpg? :( To be fair I am stuck in traffic most of the time :/ but even when I'm not (and try to drive economically) I struggle to keep it above 26mpg unless I'm on the motorway. :'(

Got over 75mpg on my trip to the 'ring. For the entire weekend I only use 2 tanks of juice and that includes the 6 + a bit laps round.

36mpg over 502 miles on a private road doing 75-80mph and still had an indicated 87 miles of petrol left.

On a run, my 535d Msport returns an average of 45MPG. On a recent trip to Italy I had it at 53,4MPG with an average speed of 72.7MPH (until my brother took over for a spell.) it has been mapped

After servicing my E36 323i auto ive seen a huge increase in fuel economy which really does go to show that maintenance pays.

Before

Town driving = 19mpg

Town and rural roads = 26mpg

Motorway - 32mpg

After

Town driving = 24mpg

Town and rural roads = 34mpg

Motorway = 45mpg

She feels quicker as well.

I average 30mpg with pretty mixed driving conditions. Not bad for a 2½ ton beastie I think? It loves motorway driving at steady speeds but stop-start slaughters the mpg!
