Just wanted to get an idea what kinda gas mileage everyone here is getting, post your model and what you're avg mpg.

2006 330i 22.3 mpg.

wondering if this is ok or about right? i get about 320-350 on an avg tank.. is this right?

[JOYRIIDE1113]

Yes thats alright. I get around 270 miles a tank. I wait till its about 35miles left or it tells me.

I live in Miami, with 50:50 city/highway. A lot fo the time, the highway is slower than the city driving...

[daheechang]

lol you get270 gallons a tank? thats quite a huge tank.

[jetblk328i]

thats about right. My 328i gets 23.7 with 1500 miles, i am very pleased

Thats Impressive man.... my e92 328i gets 13.5 mpg when i check it in beetween the speedometer and the RPM.... its wierd ive seen a lot of these threads and everyone seems to get much more then i do.... is there another way to check?

[TiAg335i]

15.5ish mpg. 93 octane, city driving, 2400 miles. I really don't drive hard at all. I guess my engine is making more power so it's consuming more gas (hehe, that's what I like to tell myself everytime I'm shelling out 40 bucks at the pump).

[EricFother]

I have 700 miles on the odometer and I'm getting about 25 miles to the gallon on average. This is a combination (50/50) of city and "highway" driving here in the U.K. I typically put my foot into it until I reach highway speed....then keep it under 60mph. I did obey the "less than 4500 RPM" until about 20 miles ago...FYI

[T Rex]

335i 6MT w/ 1900 miles

Overall Avg = 19.8 mpg

Highway ~ 24 mpg

[TiAg335i]

It's amazing how mpg can vary so much. I think 25mpg for the 335i is outstanding. Not sure why it varys so much though?

Pretty identical in here.... My car actually turned 1k miles as I was pulling into the gas station..... She is on her 4th tank of gas......

driving habits....my 24 mpg was all highway cruising around 4000rpm.....but start pushing the pedal down and fuel consumption goes way up.....

still, 19 mpg is better than just about any vehicle i have ever owned....

[rja1973]

currently showing 24.7 MPG on OBD, about 60% hwy 40% city, but chicago hwy's are as slow as inner city if not slower.

[minosdam]

my mileage is 33.5 mpg (8.4 litres per 100km) model 316i (September 2006)
50-50 city-hwy. I drive softly (60-70 miles/h in hwy)

[Rando]

OMG guys, please please talk about specific speeds in association with your MPG. Otherwise it is a completely meaningless discussion. (Some people are, thank goodness. RPM is actually the most meaningful thing... especially RPM in lower gears, where wind resistance is low.)

For example, a 335i should get something like 31 mpg @ 70 mph, or 27 mpg @ 80 mph on a level road.

I haven't yet figured out how to get a reasonable consistent reliable measure for "consumption under load" -- any bright ideas? You could reset the average MPG thing and go full throttle till 100 mph and compete numbers, but I feel like there will be a lot of error depending on when exactly you start afte resetting the MPG counter.

[The Cleaner]

About 21.5 in my 335 Coupe, only 500 miles so far

[mwilli]

21.1mpg for my 330i, crappy Seattle traffic doesn't help.

[La Verdad]

i cannot figure out why my mpg sucks so much. i am getting about 20 mpg. I have an e92 328i with almost 1400 miles on it. 6 speed and 90% city driving. I don't drive that fast either...

That would be about right for 50/50 city/highway driving. At least in my neck of the woods.

I don't have my car yet so . . . In Germany while carefully observing the break-in and doing a decent mix of autobahn travel and backroad through the Alps the car was telling me that I was getting around 24.5mpg. I handed it off to Harms with 257 miles on it though so at this point I think my statistic is meaningless. Except for a short high speed stint on the autobahn I was pretty much babying it anyway.

How close is the in-car computer compared to doing your own calculations at the pump using the trip odometer? I always calculated it myself based on the amount of miles on the trip odometer divided by the number of gallons I have to use to fill the tank. Obviously this is an average based on a mix of city and highway. If I'm going on a reasonably long interstate journey without traffic I reset it to see what the "ideal" MPG is cruising between 75mph and 80mph. I never needed to fill up before dropping the car off so I have no idea.

[kuthair]

335i sedan 6mt ~ 5500 miles.

Avg 19-20 mpg (50/50) per tank.

I find the avg mpg guage is high by about 1 mpg but that's measuring the last 8 miles and I calculate the avg at each fill up, so that could explain the discrepancy.

[Tony717]

I have a 330i and its doing about 26.1 mpg which is mostly highway driving, and before that it was about 22.4 mpg (dont remember exactly).
