    3mpg @ the track on a stupidly rich untuned turbo e30.

      -About 18mpg with worn-out plugs, sloppy valves and an old air filter. And redlining every gear, every day for a week.
      -Usually about 25mpg.

        The worst I've got is when I managed 143 miles out of my 16 gallon tank.

              7mpg, that was all on the track except for the trip to the gas station and lunch in my helmet through downtown Topeka. Full track pipe and reg numbers.
              Im now E30less.

                I get about 6-8mpg on the track with my car. And about 18 highway. It's worse than our 3.0l X5, and our 750iL!

                    18mpg just 2 fill ups ago. Usually get around 20-21mpg beating the shit out of it. Redlining 1st and 2nd gear from every stop light and cruising about 45mph in 5th gear after that.

                        Not OT: I've gotten around 17 sometimes, but I'm usually around 22-24 city driving.

                              Less than 150 miles out of a full tank. All those miles during a track day at Thunderhill. The late model E30s tank is just under 15 gallons IIRC so this would equate to less than 10mpg under HDPE conditions.
