Being the leadfoot I am...surprised at the mileage yesterday

S4to335 · 04-16-2007, 02:56 PM

I averaged 29.4 mpg, according to the computer, on my trip from Fernley NV to San Jose CA...AND I was averaging about 83 mph. Yes, a bunch of it was downhill ...but still..this was an unexpected occurrence. BTW, it took me 3hr 35min to get 294 miles...thru mountain passes.

That's some incredible numbers

I only drive down hill

Insider · 04-16-2007, 03:13 PM

My '02 M3 would get 30 mpg driving from Reno to the Bay Area. Of course, a lot of it is downhill so your figure sounds about right.

KevinC · 04-16-2007, 03:13 PM

I've averaged 30.1 mpg twice between Phoenix and SoCal in my 330.. and that's at some pretty high average speeds. Awesome!

Sounds like a nice trip.

S4to335 · 04-16-2007, 03:24 PM

I only hit 120 once..after I got pissed one bozo wouldnt get out of the fast lane. :-)

E90330iS · 04-16-2007, 06:58 PM

Wow, very nice mpg! I wonder if 330i is any better than that!

siriusinvestor · 04-16-2007, 07:01 PM

To the OP, You have a 6 speed 335i?

AndreTheGeek · 04-16-2007, 07:32 PM

I wonder what the 335i does 0-60 when going down hill?

Ruff Rider · 04-16-2007, 08:01 PM

Starting at the top of Mount Everest I hit 0-60 in 1.6 seconds. That's without PROcede.

This isn't that uncommon, i take about a half hr drive on the 101 every day and my MPG is in the 28mpg to 29mpg range. This all changes once I hit the city however
