Whats the best MPG you ever got in your BMW?

amullo · 11-21-2011, 01:15 AM

Just changed over to wintertires..

Last two tanks have runt out at 4.786L/100km by computation (litres filled divded by km driven)
US: 49.1 MPG
Imp: 59 MPG
KM/Liter: 20

No too bad..

Tha cars computers says 4,56L/100km, so its actually pretty good calibrated on my car, since the speedometer is off by 5% aswell.

I have a problem where my right foot always drops to the floor while driving, I am averaging 18.8 (US) MPG.

My next car is going to be a NA pre-turbo M3 and I am hoping if I drive it properly for around 10 MPG.

Coolieman1220 · 11-21-2011, 01:39 AM

e90 335d, best i've gotten was 40mpg checked. and that was cause traffic was driving slow. i never drive slow or the speed limit. i usually get between 33-35 and i have fun doin it.

im sure i could do a lot better if i drove better.

pn_e92 · 11-21-2011, 02:56 AM

I'm at like 14MPG in my e92 lci 328i.
I drive in sport over 90% of the time, probably closer to over 95%, and pump 91 octane fuel.

Ditto! I can't drive 55. Tried it once in my new 335d and managed 40 mpg. Low 30's is the daily norm. D is awesome fun with no MPG guilt

You guys drive premium automobiles.. why do you even care about gas consumption?
lol just kidding! i got 27.6 coming home today in a 9 mile trip. pretty substantial considering i live at the top of a 1.5 mile hill.

guribeng1 · 11-21-2011, 07:03 AM

I get 10.4 mpg.... I dont race or pull hard but there are so many bumps and stop signs here. I gotta stop every 2mins

Smokn944 · 11-21-2011, 10:11 AM

30.6 mpg all highway 220mi trip on I95. 335xi coupe auto. Drop in K&N filter and Continental DWS tires.

apc3libras · 11-21-2011, 10:15 AM

On a long freeway run from SLC to LV, I have hit 36 mpg.
My average has been 22.6 for last 6 months.

JRJ1970 · 11-21-2011, 10:17 AM

28.0 highway.

Most of my driving is city and a lot of "DS" mode. Daily driving I'm usually at 19.0.

mike3000fl · 11-21-2011, 10:32 AM

car said around 40-42mpg. this was on interstate at night (no traffic), on cruise control at 76mph on Florida's flat level ground. No significant speeding up or slowing down the entire tank, just cruising until i had to pull over and refuel.

SilverII · 11-21-2011, 10:35 AM

22 mpg under break-in period. i avg about 20-21 mpg

Ron1n · 11-21-2011, 10:46 AM

42.5 MPG (632 miles on 1 tank).

MrPig · 11-21-2011, 10:47 AM

22-24mpg but I've yet to take the 335d on a lengthy, high way road trip. 22mpg in stop and go city traffic is pretty good, I'd say.

be1ieve1111 · 11-21-2011, 10:56 AM

31 mpg in the 335i on the way to Miami.

benzo23 · 11-21-2011, 11:02 AM

I dont really ever even care to figure it out, my MPG is when the light comes on, refill and repeat.

LuxAngelEyes · 11-21-2011, 11:07 AM

i got 99 MPG once for a mile. i was coasting all the way down

Tom K. · 11-21-2011, 11:13 AM

Using US gallons with an average of 3 tankfuls:

Best Bimmer mileage ('03 Z4 3.0) - 34.4 mpg
Best BMW Mileage ('06 R1200RT) - 56.5 mpg

ZURICH · 11-21-2011, 11:24 AM

I know it is cheating but on a run through the swiss alps I managed a mainly downhill run of 18 Km and got a computer reading of 2.3 ltrs per 100 Km

That's 102.2672101 miles/gallon(US)

or 122.8177984 miles/gallon(UK)

You must agree that is amazing even for a 320d

maswastage · 11-21-2011, 12:02 PM

On a short 30 mile mostly highway trip I saw 48 mpg on the trip computer once (my trip computer actually reads low so it was probably closer to 50 in reality).

The highest I've ever seen for a full tank is 37mpg, hand calculated, in a week of commuting about 70% highway and 30% city.

ladius · 11-21-2011, 01:06 PM

I get a consistent 22-24 mpg in mixed city/highway driving. I drive a lot so I have to fill up once a week. I drive pretty mellow, following speed limits but I occassionally enjoy blasting onto the freeways WOT to redline.

'06 330i mt sport

06 330i MT
