So having the stock exhuast is better for gas mileage?

Civics used to brag about having good gas milage and reliability... our e30's owned them in reliability, and now we got them on gas milage too.

And for hatchback, we have the 318ti. Come on Teg, represent!

ive average 24.5 MPG for everyday driving, ive heard that you can get up to 35 MPG on an M50B25 if you set the cruise to 75 and make a long trip.

Best is around 23
Average is about 15 or 16

I get 23 mpg around town without putting my foot in it, 26 highway @ 70 with cruize, but normally get about 24 average.... if you believe the onboard computer, my odometer dont work so i have to go by the obc.

My regular hauling ass driving around town usually nets 26 mpg.

**Deloriant** · 08-03-2005, 10:13 AM

Usually get about 25mpg on the highway w/ premium fuel and a chip. God knows that's going to go downhill when cams go in.

**bmw4life** · 08-03-2005, 11:29 AM

My obc says 22 mpg. I don't know if it is right or not, I'm to lazy to figure it out.

DEATH2000 · 08-03-2005, 12:05 PM

well depeends on how fast im movin. at 180kmh i get VERY shitty milage, but when im crusin round town its usually like 12L/100km

**bex325** · 08-03-2005, 12:23 PM

on the highway in the convertible i get around 9l/100km and in the city i get about 12l/100km. one tank tends to last about 250-300miles (car is american so everything is in miles, but i changed the obc). My coupe is a very different story. I have calculated that i get close to 30mpg in town, which is damn insane considering i drive like a freaking maniac. I tend to get around 500km per tank, but on the highway i get closer to 750km each tank. Supposedly that works out to something like 40mpg, at least on our imperial measure. Not bad for a 19 year old car with 300,000kms on it.

I usually see around 25 mpg but i only ever do a quick calculation, good to see my driving around like an asshole is on par. With the ac on its probably about 20 mpg (but i try to stay away from the ac as its the devil and takes my few precious HP)

**Hoppy** · 08-03-2005, 05:36 PM

20 around town ( at best)
i donno about hw, but its not bad

**Rooz** · 08-03-2005, 07:07 PM

AVG mpg around town is 21 and that's with a heavy foot. Highway my best was 36mpg

**94bmw325i** · 08-03-2005, 09:17 PM

my obc says the average mpg is like 19.8 or 19.9
