E30 325i Fuel Economy

[pony]

I have been getting 14.5mpg. I might as well be in a Ferrari with that kind of fuel consumption figure.

What does everyone else get ?

[urfy]

I believe im getting 28-30 mpg in town and 40-42 mpg on the motorway.
On the motorway mine cruises at 75mph at 2500rpm. Its a 325i Convertible.

You've got to have a lot of faith to believe that.

I did have 13mpg on the Sunday when Barry worked on it

[urfy]

Well went to Ilford and back to birmingham covered approx 285 miles and used £45 in petrol.

[bss325i]

21 mpg.

[Speedtouch]

They should return around 26 mpg average, with 30+ mpg achieveable on a long run/driven gently.

But in London traffic, you can expect low 20s or less.

Im running a e30 m3 diff....

[Gavla]

I get +- 15mpg London driving and up to 30mpg on long runs doing about 70mph at just under 3000rpm.

That works out at 37.46 mpg. Probably about right on such a long run with a high ratio diff.

[G-Bear]

I would say about 26-27mpg average. I don't have an OBC, just watch the needle. So can't be too accurate.

[Grrrmachine]

I get 21mpg around town, and 28mpg on a steady cruise.
