Yes, according to fueleconomy.gov; some of us drive gas guzzlers! I was surfing the web, when I casually came upon this website. I simply input 1991 bmw 325i and was taken back when I saw the results. The site claims my e30 gets a combined 15 mpg!
I can say from my own experience this websites statistics are invalid. I'm sure most of you would agree. I drive my e30 on 240 mile road trips (currently twice a week), it runs 290 miles before the needle is in the red zone. I'm sure it would easily clear 300 miles before really having to fuel up. With that said. I believe its safe to say I get an avg of 25mpg highway and a solid 20-21 city.
So my question for you is; what do you get on your e30? Does a chip make a difference in mpg? Does the m50 swap? Does the Octane level?
