God knows how some of you are getting 40+MPG!

Mines at 30.3mpg so you are in good company! It makes a big difference the type of driving, just driven 260 miles all motorway today and got 38.7 for the trip. Would have been a lot better at 70

you must be driving like Miss Daisy to get that!!!

Mine will do that on a run, but mixed driving in mine is 16mpg, heavy footed is a bit less than that

15.9 mpg averaged over 12 months of driving according to OBC

I'm getting a steady 20.7mpg (average since January)

I had a dream about running out of petrol last night - am I becoming paranoid?

the last 1500 miles
2006 - E90 318i - 26.8 mpg
commuting on hilly back roads

wayne71 · 09-17-2010, 09:38 AM

My OBC shows 38.7 MPG, 335D remapped with evolve. Thats mainly around town driving with maybe 20% country roads 10% motorway. I did a test last week whereby when the diesel warning light came on I put in exactly 2 gallons, it did 72 miles before the warning light came back on, not sure how accurate the test was but it seems to fit with what the OBC is saying.

Before the remap the OBC used to show around 34 MPG.

Dr G13 · 09-17-2010, 11:10 AM

335i 2007 auto - 16.8mpg over last 2k miles mainly town/quick country driving.

To be honest thats not even with a heavy foot, god knows maybe 12-13 with a heavy right foot?

feck knows how some of you manage 22-23mpg in town on 335i's, You would have to be so gentle with your foot if you sneezed it would drop by a few mpg's!

kaishang · 09-17-2010, 06:05 PM

2010 330d automatic.

Central London traffic. 19.9mpg

Motorway. 40mpg

Petem95 · 09-18-2010, 02:50 PM

E90 330d - 2006 - 44.1mpg (over the last 10k miles)

That's used mainly for commuting, so a fair bit sat in traffic. Best I've had is just over 50mpg when I reset the computer and tried a steady motorway run from Marlow to Bristol last Christmas.

Current 44 or so mpg is just shy of the 'claimed' overall figure. Interestingly the previous cars I had got just shy of their claimed overall MPG figures on the same commute too - an A3 2.0TDi used to get 51mpg, and A4 2.0 petrol 36mpg (or so, cant remember exact).

E91 330D se Manual

37.1 mpg over last 6 months

I have started using Millers Eco max + Shell V power(?) and I'm amazed at the difference it has made to the performance

Hmm, not sure how about 27.4 mpg over about 10k miles on the OBC of my 335I msport with mostly country driving? I did began to wonder if I was just a glacial driver

Yet I was "reassured"...the M3 DCT gave me 18.9 mpg

same driver, same roads
