best gas mileage

You listed the 325i and 325is even though they are the same car yet you failed to include more than one type of 318, which there was.

Yeah, i knwo. and i know that the "is" gets less gas mileage than the "i" bc of the high highway revs... but i picked 5 categories, and ended up having an extra one, so i just added it..

when it comes down to the 318 and 325e, i guess the 325e comes on top right?

I've never driven a 318, but I know my eta gets pretty good mileage.
Gotta go.

i and is were same drivetrain except for the optional LSD which didnt change rear end gearing. so i and is in relation to gas mileage are the same.

On my "Top 10 Reasons Why I Bought An E30" list fuel economy came in at #14.

Even with a Jim C chip, my car still gets 26-29 MPG on the highway. I've never really checked it in-town, but I don't get gas very often. And that's running 92.

I heart my eta.

E30s that get good gas mileage are generaly slow.. but I guess you can at least roll in style!

**Jand3rson** · 07-20-2006, 08:24 PM

My car's not really that slow. I can hold my own with a 325i just fine until we get up to speed, into the higher rev-range.

**Avus E30** · 07-20-2006, 08:27 PM

325i + great running engin + 2.73 rear dif = 34 mpg on the highway

If you want to pull them, then switch motronics and a better head, then also with a 3.73 LSD you'll have no problem. :D
