Beware boring subject !

[3drmark]

Im getting close to ownership of a 325i sport now

But theres one thing bothering me, as its a 2.5 6cyl can anyone tell me what sort of mpg they get when using the car dailey?

Im fully aware i sound like a boring old fart, but i would rather know the truth now.

The car in question will be a manual, but to make it more interesting i thought we could see what the difference is between Man & Auto, to see if the myth of auto's using more fuel is true.

cheers for your help

Well mate i know here in America petrol is $ 2.35 a gallon for mid grade thats what im running and last week i got 200 miles on twenty bucks and i drive a fair bit to tye WAL-MART to work its about twenty miles or less but i think thats a fair bit of mileage for a car with 148000 miles on it , jjust stock no mods so i guess thats your answer , by the way mines an automatic 325 cabrio .

20mpg max, and ive had 325i sports in auto and manual and the manual was more economical

on a full tank, about 55 litres driving half normally ( if there is such a thing with me) and half like billy whizz 150 miles to a tank, normal driving was round town
behaving once to see what i gor for a full tank i nudged 210 miles
on a long run(motorway) i could get 250 275 miles out of it

kos do you mean your tank was 55 litres or you reckoned you used that much? cos there are 55 and 62 (or is it 61) litre tanks, i thought all sports would have the 62.

but either way, mpg is mpg, i have heard 20-25 average.

It costs me about Ԛ£44-45 to fill up and that does 180 around town (hard)
and about 250-280 if I am sitting on the motorway with it. Hope this helps.

it used to fill up to 55 litres, it was a tech1 sport, bigger tank was an option i think, but its simmilar milage to andy325's figures

once i did a whole tank in just under 100 miles, mainly foot to floor action over weekend!!

as 90% of my driving is going to be back and forth to work i recon i could see quite a hole in my pocket

Manual 325i cab - 23ish in town traffic, high 20s on a run.

Dya think I'm getting LPG for no reason?!

324TD conversion.

I get 400-600 miles to 52 litres of diesel in the Astra. TD is the way to go.

I get about 250-280 mile to a tank with normal driving, with a minimum of town driving.

Don't forget the US gallon is smaller than ours! a US gallon = Ԛ£1.32 in our money! why on earth do we have to pay Ԛ£4.20 a gallon here

A US gallon is 0.8327 of a UK gallon

[Jimbob]

I fill up at Ԛ£35 a time which almost fills it up, this can do between 200 and 250 miles depending on how hard/soft and the type of journeys covered.
I guess in generall thats about 25mpg!

[Gouki]

in town between 16-20mpg and motorway driving 27-30mpg and thats on a 325i Cab manual.

[3drmark]

in town between 16-20mpg.

Sounds like you got a heavy right foot round town,

[Andy325i]

Over the last few days I have done 60 (ish) miles town driving and 212 miles on the motorway and got 23.85 MPG

When I filled up it cost Ԛ£46.52 at 87.9p a litre giving 52.92 litres.

When should the fuel light come on? lol!!!!!

i get about 12-15 mpg, but i suppose mine doesnt really count thats hard driving, i dont know what id get taking it easy because ive only had it back 3 months and havent managed to take it easy yet

[Zayyan]

This thread is not very encouraging

I'm used to seeing around 600 miles to a (62-litre) tank when being pretty careful so wouldn't be able to get used to only managing about half that distance
