How many miles to the gallon

[DazzyA]

Took the old 325i cabby out for it's first proper thrashing on manday night , all little back roads and lanes and had the BEST time of my life(except for the 2 hookers in Sofia) but used 40 litres in 1 hour is that a record or normal?

[Jhonno]

how many miles did you do?

[Jhonno]

does sound rather excessive tho tbh

[Simon13]

my 325i auto can do 400 miles to a tank! beat that fellow 320,325i massive!

thats horrendous, my money is a rusty fuel tank leaking. thats not possible!

Jesus....thats bad....

40/4.54*15= 132.15

Even at 15Mpg, thats an average of 132Mph !!!!!!!!

My vote is going to .......Leaky petrol tank.

Dazzy A, don't think mine would be far off that!, before i panick though, on average, what would any of u lovely lot expect get out of 20ish squid, gentle drivin just a heavy foot here & there?

[kam-325i]

i get 110 - 130 miles on £20 around town.

325i

[M155-E30]

ahhh i see .., then i need to take a look at mine, hows 80 sound!!!

[calipsodream]

i get round 130 miles to 20quid out of a H reg 320 i avrage driving but last week end went to london back from wrexham north wasle on 30 quid but was taken it esay not much over 70mph

[M155-E30]

when i first drove mine i thought it was really good, for a 325 as i went from an 1800 16v renault, but then thats was long runs on mtrway. think i'll check the mixture out on me old fuel guzzler!

[beardymat]

im driving my 525e doner car at the mo

just cleared out £20 in 60 odd miles

mind you i was abusing it and using "sport mode" makes it rev right up to 5k

mind you it has covered 214k and i have little patience when driving around town, reckon a 325 manual will beat it hands down

Awww man . I get 190 miles to a full tank if i take it easy

[DazzyA]

It was all twisty back lanes so I would say 2nd and 3rd gear 5-6k revs most of the time. The new chip does rev to 7k so we tried that a couple of times. Just glad to get her back with the engine in TBH.
Few handbrake turns, few doughnuts(nearly).
If I drive like my dad the meter usually shows 20-30 mpg.

[d6dph]

Daz, i did a full tank in 180 miles, and that was driving quite hard so i guess its one of two things 1) your an animal 2) rusty fuel tank or filler pipe?

[EThreezero]

I drove from central Scotland to Cornwall on two tanks dead in my 325i tourer and thats with the fse regulator and 2.7 chip.

[Grantley]

I used to average about 25 mpg in my 320 around town driving and in the low to mid 30's on a steady run. Pretty bad really !

[TW166Y]

i get about 120 miles to £20... i personally think thats crap but i do have a heavy foot from time to time

[player6]

i uesd £15 of super in 37 miles

[Grantley]

Fair play to that mate, I think the bottom line is if you dont want shit fuel consumtion dont buy a e30 six pot !

[Zayyan]

It does sound a bit excessive but if you consider the extra weight of the car plus the drag at speed it makes a little more sense.

If I want to do 80mph on the motorway like everyone else the car only manages 20mpg according to the guage and it's only a 1.8

Not worth bothering working out fuel consumption for a cab if you use it at speed/on the motorway I think - far too scary

[hezicar]

Have had up to 400 miles in a day out of a tank in my 325i cabriolet (roof up) on UK motorways at a steady 80mph (indicated) with the cruise control on, I reckon 30mpg.

On the continent I've had about 25 mpg and 370 miles out of a tank cruising all day on the autoroute at 95-100.

Put your foot down and I can do about 240 on a tank!

[fuzzy]

i usually get between 15-20 mpg,but ive got a heavy right foot
