      Yeah, I was wondering about that. Need to address the leaking fuel issue first, though

        My 325i is getting low to mid 20s on the freeway....depends on the traffic (constant slowing/accelerating for merging traffic hurts consumption). I have a JC chip and a 4.10 LSD as the only drivetrain mods as well....having said chip means running 91 octane for me. Don't feel bad about your $3/gal. for gas. I just paid $3.41/gal. this morning and its going to go up more by summer.

                well, since i am running 205/55-16's the speedo and OD are going to be off, the speeds are going off of what the speedo is saying, but i am getting about 225-230 a tank o' high test. i also plan my routes to avoid stop and go as much as poss and try to take secondary roads with less stop lights when i can. htis is how i can cruse at 55-60 on the streets (where i seem to get better MPG)
                BTW is there any way to recalibrate either the speedo for the different tyre size? how about the MPG gauge?

                    i get around 450km a tank.
                    i fill up at 375ish km but i know i can hit 450km no problem.
                    so i'm guessing thats around 12litres per 100km.
                    americans can do the math.
