    I don't have an econometer and my OBC says 5.9mpg regardless of how many times I reset it. So, I have no idea. Does that help?

      With my '87 325i sedan with a 3.73 LSD, I generally get above 30 and was getting around 34 before my dad started using the car more...OBC says 25-26 now. :(

        In my car, the OBC mpg is accurate only for individual trip...meaning start the car, reset the mpg, and monitor the mpg meter. The sequence would have to be repeated if I want to have an accurate mpg reading from the OBC. I get 25+ mpg city and 30ish hwy with my '88 325IC stock.

              you cant put a price on cool. with my mtech2 very i was getting 18avg and 27mpg on I5.

              with my M3 it's too cool to count. I refuse to calculate it.

                  I averaged 25-26 mpg blasting down the highway between 80-90 with my M42 with the AC on.

                        I got around 19.5 half highway on my b25.
                        Now as b27, only city and mashing it I'm getting 19.3.
                        These are OBC numbers though, and probably thrown off by bigger injectors etc. I have a kilometer odometer and don't really care to work out the real mileage.

                        My eta got 34 flat driving back from lompoc to LA.

                              Man you guys are lucky. I get like 15 around town, with very little stop and go. But I do have a 4.10 LSD and lightened flywheel. Still it's harsh.

                              Bonestock m20, brand new 02 sensor as well.
