Hi can anyone tell me what the book says the MPG is ment to be on the 318 M40 engine,and what it actually is

also 325 if i buy another

cheers

i had an m40 318i 2dr and it would do 30 mpg no problem.

less if driven like a coont everywhere though

I get around 35 out of mine everyday, a bit more on a decent run.

I averaged about 25mpg in my 318i auto on a 300 mile round trip the other day, and most of it was motorway driving

I use to average 30mpg in my manual 318is all day long

and 325i was around 18-22 mpg

i dont know the mpg of my 318i cabby but £30 of fuel gets me just over 145miles and thats half motorway half town driving if that helps??

thats good, ive got a 1 owner 45k 318i auto and get about 30 miles to a tenner

autos use more gas cos theyr constantly trying to remain in the rev range. mums subaru is appauling on fuel cos its a shitomatic.

i get about 65 miles to twenty quid in my 325 round town
not sure if thats good or bad

Usually 30 litres/£40 returns 210-230 miles, mostly motorway with some around town

Book; 318i saloon and 325i manual saloons:

Constant 56 MPH: 47.1 MPG, 42.8 MPG
Constant 75 MPH: 35.8 MPG, 34.4 MPG
Urban cycle: 29.1 MPG, 22.6 MPG

cheers for replys

works out about 19mpg with unleaded at 137.99p

Could be right, is it an auto? and is that town driving or hard driving ?

Am I right in thinking........

1 gallon = 4.5l
1 L cost = 1.39
1 gal cost = 1.39 x 4.5 = £6.225

My round mileage from my house to university and back again = 18 miles

20 MPG = (18/20) x £6.225 = £5.60 cost to travel to uni
25 MPG = (18/25) x £6.225 = £4.48 cost to travel to uni
30 MPG = (18/30) x £6.225 = £3.74 cost to travel to uni
35 MPG = (18/35) x £6.225 = £3.18 cost to travel to uni


So it's going to cost around about those figures above to travel to and from uni which is a 18 mile round trip.

Fook....if I have a 325 which does around 20mpg its cheaper and is around an 4 times quicker to travel to uni than on the bus?!

SOrry i meant to put 35 but im on the verge of sorting a few things on her, and no its not an auto and thats driving it easy!!!! ,

I get 25 mpg in my 318i. Thats just generally everywhere, always filling it up.

Well i drove down to fowey from plymouth and needle has hardly moved i topped up £40 the other day done 100 miles so far and still got a third off a tank so by the looks off it its not to bad on the motorway!/ a38 but hoping be better in general when fit standard air box etc, to it:)
