What Km/l are you guys getting?

looking · 12-05-2008, 05:44 PM

Like the title says - I'm getting 12.2 km/l, how does that compare?

frank · 12-05-2008, 05:59 PM

11.9 L/100 Km, lots of city driving..

d3syd · 12-05-2008, 06:06 PM

10.6L/100km and slowly dropping. Was about 11.9 when I first got my car. 6000+ kms on clock now.

VFX · 12-05-2008, 06:11 PM

9l/100km after 14,000 kms for my 128i

Mostly spent on hwy 1 going between Chilliwack & Vancouver.

Bringinthewolf · 12-05-2008, 07:48 PM

I reset after each fill up and am usually in the low 12's but I am way way up the on the Shore and the hills kill your average economy.

looking · 12-05-2008, 07:53 PM

This thing drink a lot! I use to think that my STi was a drinker, it was actually better than the 1. I could get close to 400 km per tank, on the 1 I'm looking at 388km per tank and that was running on fumes... I've been rarely pushing this car either, mix of hwy and city.

warmtoes · 12-05-2008, 08:08 PM

I'm all the way up at 12.9. Almost entirely urban driving with no freeways or highways. And, I like driving pretty fast on occasion which sucks the gas fast.

looking · 12-05-2008, 08:25 PM

how you getting 12.9? I mainly shifting at 2.5rmp and still can't get better then 12.2

Bringinthewolf · 12-05-2008, 08:32 PM

12.9 is easy as long as you don't have to be the first to and from the next light.

warmtoes · 12-05-2008, 10:09 PM

I'm talking 12.9L/100kms. I've never heard of Km/L.

hahah - I don't have too or want too - I'll save that for the track! haha

warmtoes · 12-06-2008, 01:41 AM

12.9L/100kms is not good. I don't think I can drive slow enough to get below 12.

shiccobm · 12-06-2008, 02:46 AM

14.2 now that hurts , but i do get around 380 km per tank ...all city

pavelitto · 12-06-2008, 09:03 AM

I don't know how you guys get such figures...
Maybe something differs in car here in Europe and the rest because i get something around 16 liters/100 kms driving all city and between 10 and 12 on highway (average calculated to be between 115km/h and 130km/h)

You shift at 2500rpm? Goodness why?

Cooldaddygroove · 12-06-2008, 10:38 AM

I've never seen figures this low. My 135i has averaged around 13 or 14 L/100kms since new.

Qube · 12-06-2008, 10:40 AM

It would be helpful to post the average speed as well

128 6MT: 12.2L - 56.5KM
135 6MT: 11.5L - 44.5KM
540 5AT: 13.1L - 59.8KM

1Ronnie · 12-06-2008, 12:26 PM

I just did a 1200km motorway drive down the I5, and got 8.1 l/100, but my average city only driving is more like 13-14. Mine's a 128i though.

jose · 12-06-2008, 12:59 PM

my 135 is drinking 15.5l each 100km, all city, hope it gets better after 3000 km. I try to shift under 3500 rpm but with that engine who can! if you want economy buy a Prius!

Cooldaddygroove · 12-06-2008, 02:06 PM

My 135i is getting about the same mileage as my 2005 545i. I was hoping the 135i would be in the 11's, but 14's is has been pretty much my average, and I reset at every tank.

getting through the gears faster helps saves gas. The 135's engine has so much usable torque, I never find that I have to go rev crazy to get going. Mind you, this is only when I'm trying to save gas.

135i MT - 12.2L - 56km

So it looks like 12.2 isn't that bad after all. This car just seems to drink gas so much faster than my 04 STi - and I though the STi was a heavy drinker....

warmtoes · 12-06-2008, 05:44 PM

135i convertible - 6AT - 12.9L - 39.8km/h average speed
