            Fuel Pressure too high.

            I really do drive like I'm insane... and the M42 powed car gets better than 32 hwy.

            325i like I sad 20-25 and thats combination street hwy.
            so how should I be warming it up? I read having your car stand still idleing is wasting more gas then low-rev driving around the block to warm it up.

            warn out injectors could be the cause...

              Then: 22 city/26 hwy w/ m20b25 5 speed (g260/3.73lsd)
              Now: 25 city&hwy&racing w/ s52b32 5 speed (zf/2.93lsd)

              ^ - Pretty sure I could get better mileage if I stay off the gas pedal.
