A conservative 128i MPG Estimate
Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. I found the following while surfing the net (paraphrased). It echoes some earlier comments in the forum.
"The 128i will have the same engine that gets 21 and 30 mpg in the manual transmission version of the 328i .... it will probably get 22/32 mpg, minimum."
I am hoping it is a little bit better with the smaller size of the car and the benefit of the on-demand engine coolant pumps that improve fuel economy.
Other cars mentioned in the thread include:
The Acura TSX sporty sedan w/ 205 hp and 22/31 mpg
and
Honda Civic SI sedan w/ 197 hp and 22/32 mpg
But of course the TSX and Civics are FWD, not RWD and do not have the luxury-oriented options the 128i will have or offer as add ons.
Cheers!
