    gas mileage

    Just curious as I keep track of nerdy things like this...What are you guys getting mileage wise per tank? I'm consistently +/- 330 miles per tank (5spd) city/hwy driving, daily...and that's before the light comes on. I don't like to let the light come on.

    Anyway, is this close to others?

    I just recently took a road trip down south and I got around 350-375 (all highway) in a 318is 5spd. I get very low mileages driving in the city, maybe around 18-21mpg if I'm lucky.
