330d mpg

F30AM · 01-29-2014, 04:08 PM

I've so far done 562 miles in London in comfort mode, no stop/start activated, no granny driving and still have a 1/4 tank left. Using Shell V Power Nitro+ Diesel.
Not bad for a 3 litre 6 cyl Diesel, eh?

Sounds excellent, very good returns for London traffic.

Just wait till you get it on some driving roads

nordberg · 01-29-2014, 04:18 PM

That's incredible!!! I'm getting nothing like that at the moment...

BMWSKI · 01-29-2014, 04:25 PM

That's nearly 800 miles a tank!!!

Sorry, this isn't possible. Equates to about 60-70mpg!

F30AM · 01-29-2014, 04:37 PM

I am in shock myself!. I filled the car on near empty. In fact, I've NEVER had such an amazing range before! 400 miles at max. Must do another brim to brim run. Our othe 330d is nowhere as good. Maybe I've got a 320d!

Waitey · 01-29-2014, 04:39 PM

So 625 miles of town driving?

Think you maybe forgot to reset the trip computer last time you filled up!?

well you have got the slower 330d so that might explain it

Agree, just ain't possible. I think the F30 has a 57 litre tank which means your getting around 66mpg.

People are weird on here.

F30AM · 01-29-2014, 04:44 PM

I'll do another brim to brim and report back.

There's an abundance of just plain odd things said and explained on here.

I know 3 series are mainstream cars and thus attract none car types I suppose, which may account for it.

BMWSKI · 01-29-2014, 04:54 PM

So if that's around 800 miles per tank with town driving (in London I might add!) then I reckon you'll be getting around 1000-1200 miles if you hit the motorways...
Is it April 1st today???

F30AM · 01-29-2014, 04:57 PM

Oooops, oooops ooops.
562 miles NOT 625 miles. Sooooo sorry.
Still not bad anyway, don't you think? Still a 1/4 tank left.

Waitey · 01-29-2014, 05:00 PM

That's more like it!

Should see you in the high 40's for actual mpg. Well done.

I've assumed the last quarter on the gauge doesn't represent a quarter of the actual volume of the tank.

Zagga · 01-29-2014, 05:10 PM

Still impossible - that is 59 mpg for town (LONDON) driving.

Your car is broken...... and only 3 cylinders are working or its set to Km rather than miles.

What is your average mpg in the OBC?
