kiwi535 538 Report post Posted February 27, 2005 open road too much yet, but it looks like i should get 9-11L/100km you will be very lucky to get anything below 10......unless you are goung 90ks on the flat with a tail wind....the autos are prolly turning lower revs at 100 tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted February 27, 2005 I can resist no longer ! Since Ive been over here my 740 has averaged 16.9 mpg (14.3 l/km). I can easily have that down to 13mpg (18.6 l/km) if I only use the steptronic to give it a good hiding, but if Im cruising then I can get around 25 mpg (9.7 l/km). My 750 was averaged 13.6 mpg (17.85 l/km) over 2 years and the best I had on a run was 20mpg (12 l/km) Cheers Martyn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted February 27, 2005 thats not half bad martyn...I think the best i have ever had from the 535 was 27 mpg the very first weekend i had it driving it proudly home from Auckland to Wellington=9.6km/l=10.39l 100 kms,and the very best instantaneeous reading at app 100 kms was about 9.6l 100 ks=10.44km/l=29.3mpg.I think my obc is slightly pessimestic....

Icin 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2005 Hey yeah iv got a 86 E30 320i auto, and it does about 450 k to $60 worth of 96. Not great when i used to drive a toyota corolla which could go for what seemed like a month b4 needing a top up. Still, once youve driven a BMW theres no going back right? :mosh: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 35 Report post Posted March 6, 2005 Same figures for my auto 320i, so that seems about it for a E30 320. How does that compare to the 325 drivers?? And Emma, do I detect a recent dive in the language - bs must be a bad influence. :thumbsdown: Not a jab, just an observation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Emma, do I detect a recent dive in the language - bs must be a bad influence. :thumbsdown: Not a jab, just an observation. 60 bucks is about 47 litres.. last time I had 60 bucks and nice easy driving it did 600 k before the empty light. 320s are way worse than 325s economy wise.. in fact I have no idea why they even get bought!

318is 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2005 Filled up friday, as per normal myself. So this should be accurate. 53.64L = $67.26 Dollars trip counter was 515 km from last fill. About middle of red, never let it get that low before, so topped up anyway. I 'guess' I still had another 20 ~ 30 K's left no worries. Interesting, because I usually fill her up when I hit quarter mark. All normal road, and typical Penrose traffic at nights. No motorway use on this tank.

I cruise to cruise. Haven't been over 4500 RPM yet. My days of burnouts and knarly squeelies are past me, so fuel savings galore here If I wanted to hoon around and burn rubber, I would drive a skyline or similar. Cheap to fix, cheap to run ( previously owned a 2.5 skyline, hence my comment ) Anyway - yeah happy with 9.6 km/L with town driving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 well i can go to work in the morning and never exceed 2500 rpm and be light footed and there aint no way in ^%$# i would get below 12l/100k even stopping only a few times...cc plus weight =thirsty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
318is 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 ...cc plus weight =thirsty Absoutly - my Skyline was 450 - 480 K's out of a ~$60 tank of gas doing the same running round I do now.I drove that car hard = crap mileage. And yes - it was a heavy car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
