I only do city driving. I fang it out of every traffic light to get to 60, 80 or 100 whatever. Hardly on freeway.

13.0L/100km in average for months. Yeah highway is less than 9L/100km.

if you guys are getting sub 12km/l you must be driving like miss daisy... cuz i know i am and still only getting 12, always using PULP!

i'll have to try skipping a few gears more often though...

anyone in brissy sub 12km/l?
My tires might have helped - non RFT.

Wow I must be a real lead foot. My long term average is 15L/100km, haven't reset the computer in ages though. I do all city driving and the turbo rush is just too addictive!

I figure a bought the car for its performance so why not use it a lot!

I think all you guys need to re-set the button for average fuel consumption(press in and hold!). Doing 100% city driving will really eat up the fuel.

The average fuel consumption gauge does NOT reset when you turn the car off. It should. But it does not!

I think a more important measure is how far can you drive on ONE tank? And how many liters or gallons? ie: real world fuel economy!

I kinda suspect the more rigid RFTs may give better consumption. I reckon they probably have less rolling resistance. I've got no data to back that up though...

A lot less unsprung weight, at least a couple of kgs per corner.

My average is 14.9l/100km. Almost all city driving, except for the occasional early morning or late night trip on the Tulla to the airport or back).

It is coming down - started at over 17l/100km. I like the performance so I don't expect it to be frugal. That said i didn't think 17l/100km was much of an advert for efficient dynamics.

Happier now I'm under 15l/100km - must be a lead foot though

That pretty much my experience, though all my driving to date has been inner city. That's about 3,300km since November last year.

The consumption figure is OK as far as I'm concerned - if it were not for the silly sized tank. It is at least 10 ltrs short in my opinion and the weakest aspect of the car overall.

Just went through my first tank of fuel on my new n55 135i. Averaged 11.8L/100km.
Please note this consisted of mainly city driving and the last half of the tank was quickly evaporated at yesterdays Sydney drive day.......

So all in all, pretty good first up. Can only get better.

i will keep you all posted
