slowe30 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2012 whats everyone getting fuel usage wise in 328i e36s. just got one recently and just wondering if its normal, best i have got is 9.2l per 100ks (averaged out over the whole tank). but more commonly sits around 10l per 100ks. is this normal or is there a knackered sensor. (note no engine light is on, car runs fine) cheers for any info anyone has Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 545 Report post Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Get the same on commute. Can go higher with lots of short 50 kmh type trips. Drops to 7.x/100 on open road Edited August 29, 2012 by Neal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palazzo 477 Report post Posted August 29, 2012 11/100k for commuting and I think that's quite good. In the 7s on a trip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OP6 27 Report post Posted August 29, 2012 Getting around 9.5l/100km going to and from work - no rush hour traffic and just over 7l/100km on the open road, can do Christchurch to Dunedin and return (nearly 800km) on a tank and still have fuel left over. An auto would be worse than this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
