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!

I get around 300 miles

My old 318i used to get about 250 miles to a tank, and it had a 63 litre tank fittted!! If i ragged it i was seing just over 200 to a tank!

My 325i sport seems to do about 350 if i drive very gently.

250 + on the motorway doing roughly 90-100mph constant (4l v8)

200 on the motor way at a constant 120mph.

How do you guys average such fast speeds on the motorway? On the M25 these days your lucky to get over 70 in lots of areas becuase there are soo many cops everywhere! Speed cameras are a joke also.

About 320 normally, but goes up to 350 if I drive like a grandad
Costs 55 to fill up 55L now..... robbing bar-stewards the Government!!!!

m25??? try the m4/5

Germany roads.

i will be going to devon from leicester and back next weds, so will let you know

Not a lot on my 325i, I don't really want to calculate it, as I don't feel like crying right now

m4 i was hitting 120 on the way back! had to slow down as the hardtop seemed to be lifting off at the back and the bloody terrible fog counldnt see bugger all!!

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

I get around 200 miles to a full tank, which is about £50 quids worth in my sport. Chinchilla I see you got home safely mate!

I get the same with a 318 Touring as I did with my 320i coupe, I guess smaller engine but it works harder.. £30 in 180 miles out ,average driving all B roads.. and sitting in effin traffic jams..

I get about the same as slinky (320-360 miles) in the cab. Much the same as the 316i touring I had before it.

as of late i have been getting 240 miles to a tank in my 320( boat anchor )
soooooooo.............. lets hope and pray that the 325 gets a bit more than that @ucker!

I have just converted my 316 touring to a 318is touring and even thrashing it, it is still doing 330 miles on £52.00......I love it That's around 28MPG

mine does around 18mpg average.

Grimsby to Bourenemouth... 300 miles and the warning light just begins to flicker... and that was in an '87 325i Sport.

And I don't drive like a grandad!

30.92/g on mixed driving 25/g round town ..325i cab ...miller maf & chip 6 branch +modified exhaust, 19lb injectors, piper induction

Both the 316 and the 2.7 return around 360-440 miles per tankful.Thats a mix of 'er indoors 1 mile each way to work and my 41 mile country lane round trip to work.The lower figure can get lower if either car does constant short trips.The upper figure can be exceeded by both cars on long runs at legal speeds.

What should you get from a 320i? cheers

going to Scotland and back recently getting 400miles to the tank cant boot it to much as a lot of Police on the tope end of the M6 and A74M

taking mine to spain in a couple weeks
so i'll answer this when i get there

never manage more than 50 to a tenna

Is it even worthwhile sticking a tenners worth of petrol in a car nowadays?

I have a 50 mile round trip to work and back - add that to normal day to day driving, I'd be filling up every day

mines doing 130 miles for £25

blingsta wrote:mines doing 130 miles for £25

So roughly the same as dazleeds then.

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?

Depends on how much you got in your pocket at the time...

It ain't that bad. I'd say about 5 tanks, depending where you're going.

The Tolls are expensive too!

i used to fill my 320 up for about £40-£45 and get about 280-300 miles a tank !

Damn blingsta at least you have a turbo
guess my foots to heavy

grantfk10 i usualy stick £20 in at a time unless im off on a long run then she gets filled, main reason being is my car tends to find itself parked in a few dodgy areas, so i prefer it not to be full, just incase thieving twats take a liking to it

mate how are you gettin this many miles???? are you on LPG?

its interesting to see the comparisons for the owners so assuming we drive relatively similarly, calm around schools and main roads and then like a bat out of hell when its clear and you have great vision ahead we seem to get not much more than 200-250!!!

appreciated the responses guys as i thought my car was overfuelling!!!!
