    What do you average for MPG?

    Seeing as Im pending a deal on an 88IX I was wondering what kind of MPG everyone gets on their tanks. Im talking regular mixed driving. How many miles to the tank. Also Im really only concerned with 325i m20 motors. Im sure an e30 will beat my 18.2 that I get with my Pathfinder, but Im just curious as by how much.

      90 325is. I get about 21-22mpg, on average, truthfully. Not a stretch. I have gotten up to 27mpg on the highway, but cruisin about 55-60mph, but that is HARD to do!

              In my 88ix I get around 20mpg, but i drive 80+ on the highway, and rip in the city, if you get over 300miles out of a tank you are doing good.

                Just under 30 overall bitches.. 87 eta in stock trim. OBC states 28.x but I ran 305 miles on 10.2 gallons. Got some mods coming, so we'll see what the new numbers are soon. The m42 in dailying right now is getting around 28 (autotragic, and e36 to boot).

                  Given my normal usage for the e30 anymore, 6-7 mpg, 9-10 in the wet.

                          I'm right around those figures too.....perhaps 25mpg on the freeway if I'm careful (read: never happens).
