whats your mpg

[notallthere]

well I'm new here and this is my first bmw its a 2001 325i 5 speed sedan
looking to see what kind of mileage you are getting and what % city/highway your are driving so far the gauge is saying I'm getting 32.3 with about 90% highway driving doing 65 the whole time

[witeshark]

The 89 E30: about 19-20 city driving. About 26, maybe 28 on the highway.

[JetBlack328i]

dont know what mine is but it sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nick_318is]

91 318is (e30) 25mpg combined driving hard, 30+ on the freeway.

[denyo77]

I get 10 liters/100 km
8 liters at 80 kph 12-13 liters at 160 kph
dunno how to convert it

[notallthere]

well me being the curious one I had to figure your numbers out it equates to about 23mpg doing about 50mph and some where between 29-31 doing about 100mph and well thats really moving

10 liters/100km ~ 23.5 mpg. 8 liter ~ 29 mpg. 12.5 ~ 18.7 mpg (1 gallon = 3.8 liter. 100km = 62 miles)

wow don't ask me what I did to come up with my #'s if you came up with that answer oops ha

[notallthere]

you all are probaly going to laugh at me for saying this but my big worry point about this car was the gas mileage I drive about 600 miles a week so it gets a little scary when I was thinking I was going to be getting mid 20's out of the car but seeing that its going to be low to mid 30's it been a big reliefe

[3050rpm]

Hey, that seems pretty good! With my '95 E36 2.5L 5-speed, I had routinely been getting 31-32 highway between 70-75 mph. Suddenly last fall that's fallen off to ~29, under same driving conditions, which irks me. I think it might be because of the ethanol they're mixing in with the gas now , plus winter formulation.

[TheUniballer]

last time i checked I got around 20 mpg with mostly city driving, but I don't even check anymore, probably cause I don't care about fuel economy at all, plus I'm a fan of "spirited driving"

[215BIMMER]

e36 328i 5speed. i drive about 20 minutes all highway to work and back, BUT i swapped in a 3.15 rear in place of the stock 2.93 so at 80mph im sittin at about 3,400 RPMs. with work driving and some "spirited" driving in the downtime i average about 22 mpg's

[denyo77]

my mpg is also only spirited driving
unspirited driving gets me about 26/7 mpg so i don't bother

[iamcreepingdeath]

I average about 22mpg's according to my on board computer. My mpg's have gone down since i got my 17" wheels. They are heavier than my stock bottlecaps, which bugs me, but oh well. And an E30 325 really gets 26-28 on the highway? That sound low. I drove my E36 325 down to Florida fully loaded with my wife and all of our stuff and got a solid 27mph average (according to obc)

[Numark318i]

my E46 330ci steptronic averages 29mpg if i go between 65-120

21mpg daily driving in the city and mountain roads.

Shits killing me son.

so i drive the 318. 25-30mpg all the time.

80 kph is country road driving... although I drive mostly btw 100 and 120 kph on country roads
German country roads are like the body of a beautiful woman: All curvy, making you sweat and get Adrenaline rush

[notallthere]

ok your country roads sound alot better then mine
to keep with the theme our country roads are more like a crazy old man that has shit himself and is asking you to change him

they are really bad about up keep on the road surfaces it sucks

[si823edieW]

i have a 97 328is and i get around 18 mpg...seems kinda low to me

[peterkdenny]

i got about 23 with my 97 328is, driving relativly nicely. im getting about 22 driving my m3 nicely...

[notallthere]

I've been getting about 33mpg with the car
and this last tank I got 35.6mpg so I really cant believe it

but I've started to look for another car I'm putting to many miles on this thing and I want to keep it for a few years
