MPG

[LikeCDoos]

This weekend i drove from San Luis Obispo back home in LA, with a stop in SB to visit Ryan G. I filled up yesterday and found out i got 27MPG. That was on mostly freeway driving but i'm pretty happy with that number. Thats the best i've ever done. What numbers do you guys get. I know you 318 and eta guys get in the 30's so poo on you.

That's good to know with me anticipating a road trip back from MO, and the EPA website givin an 89 325iS only 22 Highyway MPG

[Bill 84 318i]

With entire highway driving and no stopping until I needed gas again, I got ~40 once. Seems to have been a one time thing though.

So there.

Ditto. I usually get mid to high 30s on the highway and about 30 around town.

A lot of mpg depends on the fluids in your car. Put in some 5w30 full syn, Redline MTL, Redline Diff Oil and you'll probably see ~5mpg increase.

I'm not a huge fan of synthetic motor oil, but I am running Redline in my tranny. I'll get to putting it in the diff eventually.

Around town I get more like 20ish.

y'all are a bunch of nerds
who honestly calculates MPG for each tank :roll:

I have more important things to figure out.

jk guys

The best I've gotten is 20mpg :twisted:

I get 20 in town out of town where ever, 20mpg with the 325ix, wish I could clock the 30's damn that would be nice. I hate only being able to get 325 miles out of a tank.

[Super Eta]

i have only actually calculated once and i was getting in the 30's.

mostly stock '87 325is:
-Stromung exhaust, and probably a hollowed out cat too (not sure about that)
-K&N cone filter
-screwy ECU that's probably making me run lean
... 31mpg @70-75. That's the sweet spot. Anything above or even below that relative speed makes my mpg drop severely. OBC matches manual calculations almost perfectly.
Gas mileage driving around town is dismal though - like 15mpg at best while making short trips, never even getting into 4th gear often.

damn you guys w/ eta's and 318. I can't belive you guys hit 40MPG!! thats insane. Ya that road trip i did was with one stop and i usually kept the speed around 75mph sometimes going 80+ though

[325is_e30]

where i live theres alot of hills so i get around 16mpg

[nando]

I got 26mpg in my ix on a road trip once.. usually I get about 22mpg.
