k if got the M42 (91 318is) and im getting about 10 liters per houndred Km actualy its more like 10.2 or somthing like that is that normal or low? and thats at a moderate foot.
its got aftermarket cams and a dynan chip the cam's would bring the fuel millage down a bit i would guess so is that about right or am i burning to much?

If you romp on it a lot that sounds about right (20ish). But it all varies... I drove my old 318is (with Schrick 256 int/exh. cams, JC chip, exhaust, bored TB, etc.) home from Fairfax VA (almost 320 miles) and still had gas for a day or two of cruising before I had to fill up. It all depends on terrain, how heavy your foot is, etc.

I think i get about 450km/s to a tank in my 318is(M42) i think its 45 litre tank or something ?

[BS87]

I used to get like 230 miles to a tank, But randomly it's now back up into the 270-280 range before the light comes on.

[kowalski]

i get like 550 km to a tank and the 91 318is tank is 55 liters latley i havn't been heavy on her but it doesn't really change all that much being a 4 banger and all maybe loose like 40 k for a tank

[kowalski]

also im faulting code 1222 which is the lambda controll (lambda is also knows as the O2 controll) or however its spelled what would cause that to fault i have a generic bosch O2 sensor cause it was like 80$ cheaper so i had to attatch the wires to the old fitting and it only faults some times rarley... but it runs bad on start up. i can hear a leak when i turn o fthe engine vacume bleeds out i think it might be the intake so im taking that off tomorrow and seeing if i have any problems there.

[DaN]

My odometer doesnt work, but the obc says I get 31.7 mpg with my 85 eta. lol. Mostly highway miles.

[Tangent]

~22 mpg in mixed city and ~80mph highway driving with my m20b25, completely stock. My right foot is more than a little heavy...

[nando]

21-22mpg for us poor American bastards who haven't converted to metric yet. :(

it's one arbitrary measurement vs another...

I get 21-22mpg, 90% of my driving is at 80-85mph.
