    I know when I get good gas mileage that I am not having enough fun.

        300 miles to a tank regardless of driving style. comp says 25.8. My moms 528e auto reads 28.6. My manual says I have 15.3 gal and I have never put more than 12.5 in it. And i wont complain about gas prices. I have a v-8 street rod that when on the floor we're talking gallons per mile. off throttle stuff is like 10-12 though.

        my sisters 318ti used to pull 31 with continuous highway stuff, and my dad is getting around 25-26 i think in his M roadster.

            I can pull 450 miles out of the Ti's 11.5 gallon tank with extended highway cruising at a steady 75 mph.

              You probably have to just tighten the ground nut on the back of it. Or possibly replace your SI batteries.
              I'm too lazy to pull the cluster :P

                If you whine about them, don't ever travel abroad. You'll have a heart attack and die.

                You have some of the cheapest gas in the world, whacking an extra dollar onto a gallon sounds like a damned good plan to me. Maye get a few out of SUV's (doubtful)
                but the rest of the world has cheap public transportation. we dont, we must drive. and nothing is close to anything in america, we have lots of land, so we spread shit out, dont ask me why. this means it takes even more gas to travel to even more places. buy in bulk and save right? thats why are gas is cheap.

                  wtf? I get 15-19mpg. Of course, I never leave the city. Hit the interstate at a fractions of a mile at a time.

                  p.s. Gas prices can suck a fat one. But it's worth every penny. I still go out cruisin at random sometimes.

                    Best I ever got was 370miles on the 16gal tank in the super eta.

                    That's only like 24mpg :(

                      I always put more than 12 gallons, sometimes 13 something.

                      260 miles out of a tank is what I get, then I have to refill (2.50/gal)

                      Of course all my miles are all city, with ALOT of hills.
