what mpg from your 325 m20

[stevenannahouse]

I just worked out i get 21mpg from my celica gt4..Im picking up my 325 sport on Thursday and i hope i can get slightly more from it..
Ps that 21mpg is mixed driving but mostly taking it easy..

[stevenannahouse]

thats equates to £40 pounds of superplus gives me 190-200 miles.

[E30BeemerLad]

expect near the same to be honest, can crack near 30 on a motorway run if taking it steady.

one thing with the 325 is that it is addictive to peg the tits off it, just to hear it scream.

100 miles to £20 was about all I ever managed

[Theo]

Ouch, I get about 28mpg, mainly and thats mainly on A and B roads.

[Fushion_Julz]

Mine averages about 23-24mpg in mixed driving, but not "taking it easy"...On a long motorway run I can easily get 27-28mpg
However, nailing it everywhere and 20-21mpg is what you get...

[tregzybmw]

MY 320I runs 24-25mpg on mixed roads and mixed driving

[Adammcf]

I get 18-22mpg but im always revving it over 4-5k just to hear the lovely noise it makes.

[pnd]

according to the obc i get 31 mpg mixed driving. My mate who is a brilliant mechanic gets 33 the point is his car is absolutely right and therefore gives best fuel consumption it is also a chrome bumper model which I think are slightly less on fuel.

Are you selling your gt4?

[stevenannahouse]

if i can get 28mpg i will be well happy..I dont drive hard that much except for the odd blast that me and my mates do at 5.00am,,,best time for a blast,,no peelers and the sun is just coming up

working it out from miles done and fuel used ( no OBC )

I get in town 22 mpg

mixed 33 ish

long run on M/way @ 90-100 cruising 38mpg.

I am cheating though

[NH325CAB]

I get a very worrying 18mpg mixed from mine.... glad to see i'm not alone there then!

[E30BeemerLad]

yeah I gave the missus all sorts of bullshit excuses before we got the 325 that it will be OK on the juice, having been briefly running a 405td for a few months

So if i was out in the car on my own I would stick £10 in so that we weren't stopping for more gravy the next morning on the way to work.

Doing the same with the soarer now, man that thing can drink!

I told her the soarer would be about the same as the E30 on fuel

£30 = £120 miles
takes £80 to fill it if on vapours (80 ltr tank)

[miniblob]

I was getting 22mpg from my 325i touring before it was tuned up/modded. And that was running pretty rich!!

Seems to be a bit more economical now but i'll have to try and work it out again at some point!! Can't really do it at the mo 'cos the fuel guage don't work properly and i can't just fill it up before and after a journey 'cos it leaks if i fill it!!

Oh yeah, i always drive it hard too - and that 22 was part a/b roads and part M25!!!

[e30_Turbo]

Fuel consumption, lol, them were the days

[Turbo-Brown]

Used to get about 28mpg around town and about 35 on the motorway on a really long (and slow in my case) run.

Only tested it once with the turbos on and got 28mpg again which was a combination of motorway and town with some caning it thrown in for good measure AND a leaking fuel tank!

[DaveD]

In the M50, I get about 22 miles per fiver

[doughboy]

As a daily driver I'm getting about 80 miles from 20quid of optimax.

BUT, I did a long motorway journey recently and managed 360 miles from a full tank, which is pretty good imho.

Thats pants.......

[Steve-E30]

100 miles to £20 was about all I ever managed

I get 53 miles to £15

Thats from petrol light on till on again
I am a bit lead footed though
Usually see 11.8mpg on the computer , If i take it steady on a run i get about 28mpg or a bit more if im lucky But that dont last long

But very fun!

[Dominitry]

How you getting that? Arent the M50's better on fuel than an M20 due to more valves?

[stevetigger]

I think its the lead foot being new and fast and all that!

[e30bmlover]

£40 = 250-270 miles

[jaistanley]

My new 325i se Auto is in excellent shape and gets me 34 on a run, 30 mixed. It's a lazy auto though so I drive it like a grandad...

I'm pretty sure the OBC and fuel gauge had an argument some time in the 90's and are no longer talking though. Sometimes the OBC says I have a range of 100 odd miles but the fuel guage says different!

[cass1_5503]

i have come to the conclusion that all e30s are quite rubbish on fuel (318i only gets about 30mpg mix) but we love em anyway

[Project_E30]

working it out from miles done and fuel used ( no OBC )

I get in town 22 mpg

mixed 33 ish

long run on M/way @ 90-100 cruising 38mpg.

I am cheating though

How do you get 38mpg at 100???

You need to see his datalogs, damn thing is pratically running on fumes on light load it's so well mapped, I dream of MPG's like that but I love booost far too much to ever worry about it!

[Project_E30]

What is he running?
