335 Fuel economy.

russtic · 11-15-2010, 08:59 AM

Had a bit o a shock today, I usually get 22mpg, today I was feeling ill so just hit cruise at 80 - got 34mpg over a 50 mile run.

What do other people get?

creepy coupe · 11-15-2010, 09:01 AM

The best I even managed was 34 on a 400 miles run, but everyday about 29 mpg

rummy · 11-15-2010, 09:04 AM

For the past 4 or 5 tanks on daily driving, I'm at 25.2mpg.

BIGTIME · 11-15-2010, 09:16 AM

Between 20 and 24mpg for me.

Mine has dropped since the back box and diff mods specifically.

Its nothing to do with the car though

My motorway cruise on a map is about 32mpg.

At 70mph it might be 34 but rarely more.

Flat out around Castle Coombe on an aggresive map yields 11mpg.

yep thats what i thought!

wza · 11-15-2010, 12:33 PM

last couple of tanks since last "journey" reset, 27.4 mpg @ 32 mph average speed. I was getting better mpg when I first got the car but have started using flappy paddles to downshift at junctions so in best gear for pulling away.

very true - have to work hard to stick under 100 -glad of cruise control!

I just love the acceleration and I am pretty sure that is why I don't get sensible MPG!! -not that I care really!

Mine's a mix of M-way and (mostly) town driving, although not stop-start.

Average 22 - 24 mpg, calculated properly (i.e. brim to brim with making anote of the mileage, not relying on the car's computer).

JZ69 · 11-16-2010, 02:25 AM

I get a typical 22mpg in the M3 with a mix of hard short trips

chesney72 · 11-16-2010, 04:24 AM

Saw 37mpg over 150 mile country drive on way back from buying it. Getting about 30mpg on average with mixed driving.

Last calculated MPG was about 1.5mpg better than the OBC was saying.
