How many Miles to a Full tank of Fuel????

[Philwild]

My 325i seems to cost 20p per mile. I only ever stick £20 in at a time for around 100 miles. Its not as bad as the v6 auto mondeo estate i had before though!

[BMracing]

I brim my 325i every time i fill up and i only do about 10 miles a day. With a bit of leisure driving too a tank only lasts me about and a week and a half generally because its running cold most of the time, not how i really want to be using it but oh well. I'd say i usually wont get much more than a 150 miles

My car can drive from a to b with a full tank of petrol

[tailoutcharlie]

My 318i from full to reserve light on is anywhere from 320-360 miles depending on type of roads I'm driving on.

whats the average mpg like on a 318i?

i need to downgrade from my 320i! shes a thirsty bi*ch!

why dont you upgrade to a m20b25, at least it'll be worth the fuel

readies himself for a lashing from 320 owners

hI guYS,

A general and curious question. how many miles you getting to a full tank on your 325i?

mine has 63 litre tank and costs around £50.00 per week and i wondered what everyone spends and how many miles you get out of a full tank!

my car is standard bar scorpion le mans exhaust and k&n induction kit!

hope to see what the differences are between us!

Mines a 325i se 92 an £20 gets about 100 mile, if you unweld your right foot you could get a wee bit more,but we dont get them to go slow eh lol..you kinda know wen you get an e30 325i its gonna cost you in fule..but worth every penny

.you kinda know wen you get an e30 325i its gonna cost you in fuel..but worth every penny

That just about sums it up. (and not just the 325's)

Full to the brim,
motorway driving , the fast style.
310miles per 50liters (light just came on).

That´s 28.2mpg, wich I´m very happy with
That´s 10L/100km

[320Touring]

Getting about 33.7mpg out the 325i touring auto doing motorway runs

so thats about 350 to a tank before refuelling

my 320 once managed 38mpg

[mikeyboy]

Its worth every penny without a doubt and i cant wait for some more engines goodies!

heres a question what does the 2.7 conversion get you, as i have read mixed reviews that economy increases a lil?!

[gareth]

I can't work out why people stick in a tenner, or a score or whatever....
Is it not easier/less hassle just to fill the tank and run with it until it needs filled again?

i agree entirely, though at present i'm on £10 - £15 a time as if i fill it any more, it leaks!

i'm driving a 323i 85 2 door E30..live in malaysia where the climate is hot.

I oni get good mileage when i'm on the highway manage to get 260-270 miles for 43 liters. mine has a 55 liter tank..and i dun drive fast, oni maintain at 65-70 miles coz that the speed limits in my country.

If for city driving..the mileage is rather bad..Wonder how you guys manage to get such good consumption even with that kind of speed? Does it have to do with the things you added?

Mind sharing?

cheers

my fecking tank leaks if i put more than 20 quid in it... and i get crap mpg probably cos of the leak... where can i get a new tank?

[bazza93]

ask in the parts section

[Fushion_Julz]

My 325 has a 65 litre tank...However, I only ever have managed to get a maximum of 58litres in as I bottle out of running it totally dry...

Day to day, 55litres gets me about 280-300miles, but on a motorway cruise I can get around 340ish from the same quantity of fuel...
55litres = 12gallons (imp)
so I get around 23-25mpg on a "combined cycle" of 40 miles per day running about 18miles motorway, 6 miles town and 16 miles on country roads...but then I drive quite fast ;)

Around 28mpg is possible on a motorway drive, but again, I don't hang about....I suspect if I tried hard enoug I could get 32-34mpg at a steady-ish 65-70mph

My M3 is marginally more economical so long as I don't behave like a hooligan (which is hard)....

Haven't driven the 320 Touring long or far enough to make a judgement, but first impressions are it will be around the same as the 325...if not quite as fast or as much fun.

[Philwild]

How far has anyone gone with the fuel light on? I have done 25 miles but them panicked & filled up!

[bazza93]

i never rely on them fuel light thingy's never know how acurate they are

[Morat]

@fashion_julez


that sounds about right.
Its also the same as an E39 540 touring, two up with 3 dogs (how we always seem to travel these days)

managed 35 before i panicked

[Gibson]

freind of mine tried too get 60 out of a pug 306 petrol light... he failed. and i drove passed him and laughed as he sat on the hard shoulder turning the hazard lights on and off manualy because the relay was broken so they didnt flash

[RapidE30]

Urban driving sees about 250 out of a tank.

Motorway and urban driving I've hit nearly 400 before having to fill it up.

(325i Touring)

[Dave_M3]

Managed to get around 40 miles with the light on before on my 316 before I said enough was enough
