What engine size and how far do you get?
my 325i gives about 180 miles or on a run about 250(?)

Yeah I get about 260-280 on my daily 90 mile commute - mixed town/country driving

I get 220 going 2 and from work and 320 on a run! Thats not driving it balls out though.

full tank 397 miles (318i)

264 on Ԛ£33 motorway 325ic

290 on Ԛ£37 in 325, (petrol from tesco's!) motorway

325i Touring,

Driven hard 150miles to a tank...

Carefully, could get 300miles.

But this doesn't happen!

My record, 325 Sal 364mi to a full tank.
My bro got 398mi to a tank driving to the south of france in his cab.
If i get 200mi or more on a tank then generally I'm happy.

My Sport does about 240-ish driving round town, but gets 340 on a motorway run.

im getting worried now ....i get 250 on a run and i have a 318 i thought the obc was wrong 80 mph shows 15mpg and at a steady 40mph in 5th gear it only goes to 22mpg and it has the correct coding plug any one any ideas why its this bad
ps there are no leaks

just got 400m out of last 50quid mostly motorway tho
320i se averaging between 85 and 110mph
crap round streets 55ish to a tenna Daz

my old 325 was much better hammer it everywhere and got 80s to tenna well sweet shame shes dead butr never forgotten

Maybe we should do a "who can go the longest distance without refueling hehe

How did you get 50 quid in there! do you have a bigger tank dude?

no put 30 then 20 did a few trips to manchester and blackburn then selby forgot to zero the gauge Daz

not fair id never win that too heavy footed esp on motorway tried driving with the econo gauge cnt keep it well its always down at 20 or less
only thing that makes me economy is traffic holding me back

i,ll give it a go next time ive got a long run to do Daz

me to! did do Bristol to Bournmouth and back and a little running about on 20 quid Was the slowest day of my life

Its got to be style of driving that counts.I fill up Ԛ£45 ish depending in price at time I always return 320/330 ish miles every time Mxd driving conditions but mainly 90 mph on A roads to & from work. 325i sport.
I also have an ecotek power valve thingy on the inlet hose.

I suppose you have Snake Oil in the sump too?

316i, 550 at a push with the town driving I do, quite possibly over 600 with a few runs.

Very rarely fill up full tanks though, it's just extra weight

Saying that though it is a Lux with a 7-litre bigger (62 litres in total) tank

In my 318i, i get about 85 miles to a tenner.

Im happy with that.

100 miles for a 316 look in your rear view mirror. for a trail of petrol.
also check your tank for big holes

WHAT on a tank ? what do you drive?

Holy cow! I wouldn't get 330 if I pushed it along!

What do you think of the Ecotek?

no particular increase in bhp but definate improvement in economy. I quite like the whistle/hum it makes in between gear shifts though.

Before I drove the 320 I was warned that it was drinking fuel to the tune of 12mpg. So I put a spare CTS (Coolant temp sensor) on to it. Which, funnily enough, came from a Vauxhall 2.0 8v engine. Same bits see. Bosch.

Then I managed aroudn 220 miles per 10 gallon tank.

Last week I managed the best ever. On a long motorway run at around 75mph followed by some big flowing A roads late at night I managed just over 300 miles on a full tank.

I've just picked up the 318 IS and it looks like it's going to do better than the 320.

You lot wont like this i get the same milage (kilometreage actually) but fuel here is a staggering 13pence a litre thus my cab is about 7 squids to fill! Dam your taxed country!!!

Probably not the way to make friends on this site, but thats why i left uk!
