How much mileage are you guys getting?
As title suggests, I wanna know how much you guys are getting a single tank of gas
I have a n52 and get about 350-400 km per tank. |

I'm assuming those figures stated are mostly City Driving correct?
E93 N52 325i and I get 450km to 550km on a mix of City and Highway driving. Dependant on how much traffic I encounter. On long road trips (i.e. plenty of highway driving) I've been able to get 650km-ish with just under a quarter of the tank to go. |

‘06 E90 325xi N52, on my normal driving which usually is a 40% city 60% highway mix, I usually average around 20-21 MPG, usually end up getting very close to 300 miles a tank. On a road trip I did from Chicago to Arkansas, I was able to achieve 28 MPG while averaging 85-90 mph for a couple hours. On my way back, I filled up half way from Arkansas to Chicago which is 250 miles. By the time I got home I used only half a tank to get from halfway point to my house in Chicago. So theoretically the fact that these cars can achieve nearly 500+ miles in one tank on highway miles is truly amazing, especially for a car that’s nearly 12 years old. Inline 6’s FTW!!

E91 325i N52 -07
I’m getting 21mpg on average. Most of my driving is done in city traffic though. So my 63l tank should be completely drained after 570km. I always fill it up after the first warning though. On longer journeys I get close to 30mpg with overtaking and average speed at 60mph. It’s absolutely possible to drive at 35mpg, but that spoils everything that is fun about driving an in-line 6 BMW. |

About 220 mi out of my 14gal tank, and I fill about 12gal per "tank"
I do a lot of city driving, and floor it constantly from this shorter diff

I don't really drive "city city" but more like an average of 4-5 miles between lights/stops. Then some highway cruising, and my 08 E91 gets 18.5mpg average.

N52 ... When I fill up (93 octane) ... my DTE readout typically shows 400 miles. I never really bother to check what I'm actually getting but figure it's in the ball park. My average is 25 mpg. I drive mostly city ... but our speed limits are fairly high for a city ... I'm typically doing 50 mph most of the time.

I drive an 80 mile commute that is a combination of excellent track-level rural back roads (15), rural dual lane highway (30), open interstate (15), and heavy bumper-to-bumper (20). I pretty much hammer the back roads. My average per-tank MPH is around 50 MPH. I average 27 MPG. The MPG number is calculated from actual recorded fuel fill up data for the past 11 years.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission.

I averaged 550per tank when I highway commuted. Now Im more city and I see about 400-450 miles per tank. Ive always been impressed by how well the N52 was on fuel. After refueling off of a highway the computer would sometimes read 580 until empty but I always doubted that very much.

Autos get shitty fuel economy - thats probably most people's problem. AWD hurts too.
I consistently get 350 miles (560km) per tank - up to 500 miles if its all highway. Never got less than 23mpg. My X5 gets like 270 miles on a 24 gallon tank, lol. But its 5400lbs and an automatic... |

N52 auto
I average around 20 mpg. When i drive a lot on the freeway, I can average 25-30 mpg. My range on a full tank is around 360 miles, 320 when I blast the AC.

One would think that SULEV engines would get high mpg to prevent pollution but probably all carbons are trapped in the cat system. |
