E30 Zone

I get about 100 miles from £30 of fuel.
I know it depends on the price you are paying for the fuel but the prices don't vary that much.
That's doing average driving in these sort of cars. Not blasting it everywhere but not driving slow either.
Around the town driving with a some 20 mile motorway trips.
So what are you guys getting?

And before anybody gets too anal, this is just a rough estimate and comparison.

Thanks

im guessing you mean in the E30..... in the E36 about 60miles to £30

60miles is that it?? My old girls not bad then.
Actually let's open this up to any BMW.

yups 60miles..... if i drive like my dad then i can see about 75miles

Full tank for me (my old tech 1 tank 45 or 47 ltr) in the m30 touring = just over 200 miles normal driving, Cane it and I can get as little as 120 to the tank

My 525 m50 touring, full tank £83 = 300 mile's maybe a touch more with normal driving.

25 litres around town will get me 100 miles
25 litres on a motorway run gets me about 140 ish miles

2.7 running on a maf and lambda.

full tank on the e39 530i sport manual is about 90 quid at them mo to fill up a 70 litre tank. i'll do 400 miles on full tank at about 26 mpg which is mainly town driving. so doing the maths £30 does 133 miles. the best i've got was 500 miles to a tank, 32mpg on average so that takes it up to 165 miles on £30

Try to stick to £30 guys so it's easy to compare. Thanks

I had the sport out the other night, I put £25 of Shell unleaded in and went for a blast with the mrs.

It was a nice night so the roof was open and I was listening to the BTB exhaust in the tunnels in Wilmslow, I covered over 140 miles and still had over a quarter of a tank.

mine does around 10ltrs per 100kms , if i hold 4000revs at 140kms/ hour
but i fill her with 97 octane. if drive no more than 90kms/hour its around 8ltrs.

The way things are £30 is not the same amount of fuel one week to the next.

The previous owner of my e30 reckoned he average around 25mpg with mixed driving, I never worked it out but it feels about right. I'm averaging 28mpg in the e36, both improve considerably on a long run as long as you can restrain yourself....

Never taken any notice of the £/mile, i just drive where I want or need to and fill up when it gets empty

I get about 80 miles out of £30's worth of fuel.

e30's are soo uneconomical its not a joke

When you think the M10/20 and 30 were designed in the 70's/80's it's not suprizing. My old mans R reg ( 73? ) Daimler VP V12 did about 3-5mpg when cold and an staggering 8mpg when fully warm.!

To £30 I get between 70-90miles in a 325i

£30 gets me 180 miles with M42 powwwwwarrrrs..

At the mo £30 would be ~120 miles in the E30, ~245 miles in the E36

What dirty6 you smoking about in Ziggy?

318i touring on ze autogas. Boringly competent, but at least it makes the E30 seem even more entertaining!

It's sufficiently dull that I'm having sick thoughts about replacing it with an Alfa I should probably keep it for when the Italian scrap dies...

180 miles of shredded tarmac, it must be the mind bending power of the M42 that causes all of the UK's roadworks...



thinking about it i'd probably get about 190 miles of careful driving/cruising at approx 32mpg

average 41.4 from my 318Ti daily

80 everywhere

@ goosie, I'm getting spam off your email dude, can you tweak it, probably not the only one.....

Tweaking now...

The way fuel prices are going we'll all be on push bikes

Converting 30 pounds into Euros, at the cost per litre over here, my average consumption and kms converted to miles, I reckon 30 quid gets me 119 miles of 325i mixed driving.

i can get 30mpg on a run in mine.

you do the math.

i get for £20 around 70miles 320 cab

From £20 (orange light just came on) i got 96miles few weeks back (325i). Changing the blue temp sensor helped.

£30 give's me about 110/120 of driving pleasure in my 320i........
