mark247 38 Report post Posted July 13, 2010 I get 650km on a tank of gas in my e30 m50b25 on the open road. What size is a e30 tank? 50l? 52l? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant 4 Report post Posted July 13, 2010 I average about 28mpg (8.4l/100km) in the VW Passat (manual, 4 cyl, 1.8T), and average about 24mpg (9.8 l/100km) in the Subaru Outback (auto, 6 cyl, 3.0). In both cars there is probably 50% city driving and 50% freeway driving (although the freeway driving is most often at speeds of around 75 - 80 miles per hour, which probably isn't the most efficient speed, especially in the Passat).

deeveus 81 Report post Posted July 14, 2010 Just over 1000km out of a tank on the open road - 900km around town, I'm sure if I drove nicely and drove till the light came on I'd get 1100km out of it. Mazda 6 700km comfortably - Daimler V12 about 400 miles to 200litres - no sh*t... Suzuki Escudo 350km out of a tank. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

|ncary 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2010 ^ 2.2L per 100km? Probably recheck that there ha. I did 3000km last summer in my e30, lowest useage rate for a tank was 8.6L/100km. Highest was 9.2. Much higher around town. Get's through a whole tank at the track in a 4-5 hour session easy (quick calculation would be around 150-200km, or around 30-37L per 100km, must reset the trip counter next time..)

Seen dozens on my old Soarer V8 /TT 6 forum. I have never understood why you buy a performance engine and then talk about fuel economy. That sort of thing should be left for Prius and Polo owners to discuss! Edited July 14, 2010 by Mike-E36 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would hardly think my wee 1.8 is a performance car ...now if this were Ferrarisport i could fully understand your mentality Economy was brought up in another thread and it interested me what kind of mpg others get out of there Bmw's...I cant really see any harm in that, yeah.
