Gas mileage e46 323?

[Tricked 323i]

I'm thinking about dumping the e34 for an e46 323it. I like having a wagon, it makes transporting hockey equipment so much easier, and I play hockey more than I do anything else these days.

When I google it I feel those numbers are from some hippies that make it sound like every car gets awful mileage and everyone should stop shaving and take the bus.

also what kind of mileage do 330's get out of curiousity, and they only made them in 2 and 4 dr, no wagon correct?

2000 touring, I have 119k on mine and get 24 city and I 28 hwy. 5 speed.

Eff that KC. 2002 jetta wagon 1.8t. 20 to 22 mpg until 90k when the tranny dropped. No miles for a month! Now back to 20 to 22.
I am buying a civic. I don't care about my daily anymore. I don't care about fwd or german engineering. i care about a cheap, light, 4 cylinder in stick.
AND I care deeply about my e30. The money I save in gas on my civic will go right back into my e30 or beer, whichever comes first!

^Thats pretty good for a e46.

Its all about the feel of the gas pedal. When I am driving and the MPG needle drops, I will pull back slightly on the gas pedal to bump it back up. The car will not decelerate if you pull back the right amount, you just need to get a feel for the car. I drive like that usually on my 30 mile commute to school.

Sorry amiga - an e46 is not a status symbol.

Word - Where I'm from - it's what your maid drives.

Horrible.

That is awesome, it would be cooler if he mounted it farther back though.
