Re: Gas Milage!!

My E30 is sitting at about half a tank right now... last fill up was in Golden and I've done some driving around town too.

Averaged 9.8L/100Km, 90% city driving, in my 24V. 467.3Km with 45.1L of 91.

9.5 l per 100 km on my trip back from bc in the Volvo

Re: Gas Milage!!

Managed to run 494.7KM with 49.823L of shell V-Power. Kept my revs around 2700 rpm +/-300rpm. Personal best. 85% city, 15% highway.
Tire pressure was 32F 34R. Probably reach 500km if I pump the front up a bit.

Re: Gas Milage!!

I don't think I've ever managed to get LESS than 500kms/tank on my car...

FWIW...a diesel uses ZERO fuel when coasting in gear.

ME7 cuts power to fuel injectors when coasting in gear with no throtle input. So a manual trans gas engine with me7 engine management also burns zero fuel when coasting in gear

Re: Gas Milage!!

I averaged 7.5L/100km while driving to/from Leavenworth, and that was with plenty of hard acceleration on the highway. If I were to run it dry, that would be just over 850km on a tank. The first day down there I averaged 7.0L/100km... still nowhere near my record though - although I doubt that would be possible any more since I have the tune now.

Re: Gas Milage!!

Finally, used a full tank on my R32....450km/tank in city only!!!! Hell ya! Just the way I like it.
If I wanted better gas milage I would have bought a prius!

Top Gear test... if you want good gas mileage you buy an M3, not a Prius lol

No sound on my computer at work, so no idea if this video is any good or not, but this is what I'm referring to

Re: Gas Milage!!

I highly doubt in city driving that a M3 will do better then a Prius.
Top Gear test was pushing both cars to their limit...not driving around town getting ice cream.

Either way can't say I really car because I dont own either of those cars. I have a R now and its ment to drive.

True but not true at the same time. If you want to get anything out of a Prius, you have to really push them, which uses a lot of gas because they're so gutless. To get equivalent performance out of something like an M3, you don't have to push it at all, therefore you get better gas mileage lol.

I know this isn't all that realistic for the average person, but they do have a perfectly valid point haha

Re: Gas Milage!!

yes because everyone who owns a M3 drives it like a prius because they were so worried about their milage when they bought it.lol

ok... ill re-phrase it then.

If I wanted better gas milage I would have bought a smart car or better yet...ill just walk! Cant beat that.

/end rant.
