      Worst was 12mpg spending the day at a track, would have been lower but 60 miles were highway getting there.

          I get zero everyday. Everytime I stop pull up to a stop sign or traffic light.

          haha.. I never get under 20 even when the car is having problems, running on 3 cylinders, running in open loop, anything.

            18mpg, not sure why, wasn't driving the car especially hard.. i think it was crappy winter gas. anyway, I usually average 21, no matter how hard I drive, but I do a lot of freeway miles.

                9 mpg while cruising at 100 mph for a little over 2.5 hours between Oneonta, NY and Braintree, MA. (~260 miles)

                  Seems like my worst mpg is when I'm going 90 for 7 hours up the I-5. I think I got like 20 mpg. I feel like running the car at 4k for that long isn't good for it. But I'm impatient.

                    People track MPG in an E30? HAH.

                    I DRINK Fuel like a carbed V8 with a broken fuel line.

                    I do pay attention to MPG on my V6 4Runner though...I average around 14 - 15MPG in that thing, highway/city.

                      Down to 13-14mpg around town flogging the shit out of it with bigger injectors and m30 afm (88 325is). With the diesel i try to get below 10km/100 (23mpg) and i have a very very hard time acheiving anything worse. the car is rated at getting 8l/100 km (29 mpg) diesel ftw.

                              Well not the worst, but going down to the portland meet yesterday, doing around 70 - 80mph I got 22mpg.

                              Thats just highway, with light passing mind you.
