MPG on your e30?

[MR E30 325is]

Numerous drives from San Diego to PHX in my S52 E30, always averaged at least 30 mpg.

Highest I ever got was 33.5 mpg, this is with an S52 and a 2.93 LSD, whilst driving very conservatively.

Are you measuring with the OBC? I find 30mpg hard to believe.


Car in sig, along with MPG stats:

[Herr Faust Schinken]

[squidmaster]

'91 318i, this past weekend got 26.5mpg at 80mph with two people and the AC on for 5 hours. I'll take that.

[NeedaBimmer]

'87 325is with a 3.73S. I get 19-21mpg city, haven't had the chance to get a good idea of my highway mpg.

[Kershaw]

i can get 30mpg if i hypermile it.

i usually average around 25mpg if i do 75mph.

M20 with a MarkD chip.

In Colorado: 23-27mpg

In New Mexico: 18-20mpg

Why so much worse in NM?

[Cptcarisma]

Why so much worse in NM?

Because Las Cruces has shitty stop lights that don't understand traffic flow whatsoever. So I get stuck at every light which equals idling and acceleration. Whereas, where I live in Colorado the roads are much more open, speeds are higher (easy cruise in 5th) and the lights are programmed intelligently.

Not too great for an m42. Like 24-25 average, and that's without me sitting in traffic a lot.

EDIT: but I'm confident I could pull 30+ if it was a long highway cruise.

[85e325]

Bone stock 325e, 24-25 mixed and 30.1 on the highway with the cruise on in 5th doing 75

[e30shmobberr]

325is 300k+ miles, intake, ebay chip, 3.73lsd, exhaust

23-25 city; something like 32+ freeway
