    Best mpg yet

    I was never really impressed with my 318i and figured it had to do with the bad condition the engine/injectors were in and with my driving. With about 10.5 gallon tank I can only go about 220-240 miles before having to fill up. My odo is off my about 5mph according to my GPS, and the tank isn't dented or anything like that.

    So, I have recently replaced the injectors with a rebuilt set along with a head and bunch of other things, and I have to say I got the most out of the tank this past sunday, just over 300miles before the light came on!

    This was with about 85-90% freeway driving (sacramento to san jose and back), and I did not pay attention to keep it at 65. It was a mix of some stop and go with some sprints to 80 or so. I am on s3.73 and 195/60/14 tires.

    m10, good for something.

      that's gotta be it! I've always got about 200 miles on my m10 before running out of fuel. I've replaced all the usual culprits except the injectors. I'm getting on that

              It's more like 11 or so... the most I've ever been able to get in it was 10.6... it's small.
