    Why does my car burn a lot of gas? Itsa a 325e..

    Okay for some reason my car takes more gas now then before. For example, I would fill it to full on Wednesday and on Sunday I have to put more gas in.. I changed the fuel filter and noting changed. Just confused in this 325e.. Any suggestions?

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume your ODO gears are broken, so I won't bust your balls for not figuring out your actual MPG.

    Lots of things could be going wrong, but we need more info first. Like how bad did the fuel consumption get?

    Fill 'er up, write down everywhere you go until you fill up again. Use google maps to figure out how many miles you drove vs how many gallons you took and report back to us.

    FWIW my ETA got shit gas mileage... maybe 18-22

      I had horrible gas mileage and I could even smell the raw fuel out the tail pipe.

      Long story short in turned out to be a vacuum leak from the intake manifold gasket.

      A down and dirty check is a can of choke cleaner sprayed around all possible places where air can leak into the intake system after the AFM.
