1M fuel economy?

aesthetect · 05-08-2012, 05:02 PM

real interested to hear what kind of average fuel economy yall are getting as daily drivers (ie mixed highway and city)

great cars yall have, consider yourselves lucky!

thanks in advance

I'm averaging 18 mpg after 5,500 miles with mostly city driving. I'm averaging around 25 mpg on the highway with spirited driving.

I must be killing it then! 16.5 around the city and around 22-24 highway (depending on my mood).

LOVEM · 05-08-2012, 06:15 PM

18 miles per gallon street. 26 /hwy /2500 miles on clock.

But that was then. Interesting to see if there was an evolution over time/distance.

Acidblast · 05-08-2012, 06:32 PM

24.6 MPG mixed city and highway driving. Car has 2600 miles on it.

T1T2GRE · 05-08-2012, 07:18 PM

I average about 21-23 mpg, though my work commute is slightly more cow-country oriented. It is still a mix though. Approx 3500 on the clock. More mmmm vigorous driving results in 18 mpg (that was the worst so far).

spoon · 05-08-2012, 08:15 PM

I have 6000 mileson the clock and always ave.20 2 mpg and use no oil.

MB38 · 05-08-2012, 09:02 PM

I'm getting 20 in LA city/freeway driving. Road trip freeway driving was 27.

LOL ...you and I must be the leadfoots here. I'm averaging around 16.9 city and 23 Hiway (but I only hit the highways once every few weeks)

RaptorKTM · 05-08-2012, 09:21 PM

I dont even care to look

tmppgh · 05-08-2012, 09:52 PM

About 23 mpg, with 2300 miles.

aesthetect · 05-08-2012, 11:19 PM

awesome, even better than i expected

especially glad to know what the 'tank averages' work out to, rather than instantaneous highway/city

thanks!

///M1 · 05-08-2012, 11:28 PM

Pre tune was about 25-26mpg highway, post is about 27-28 (when set in cruise control mode say mid 70 mph or driven fairly uniformly).

Sprited driving/cuty dips to high teens

staianoa · 05-09-2012, 12:33 AM

I get about 17mpg after 6000 miles. I got about 22 in my 335i. It's all about how you drive it!

Blue55 · 05-09-2012, 01:07 AM

About 20 in city driving.

LOL.. me too... i know I have seen 8.3 on track... on long highway trips it rides a trailer..

Weekend grocery getter tooling around I get about 17-18 .... The only short distance trip I got around 22-24 on I-35 in AUS to DFW commuter traffic.

And of course.. Euro delivery .... 21.3

Yeah, that's true...I noticed that my tune also increased MPG, but I kind of expect this with turbo tunes anyway (as I've stated before). My STi was the exact same way...until you start throwing more air into the mixture, then you'll start seeing it go back down again.

What tune did you get?

Drillslinger · 05-09-2012, 09:48 AM

Over 10k+ kms I've averaged 16.8mpg. On the way back from the BMW Welt 3.0 Meet in Munich I drove... faster than the average bear... and the average dropped to 15.7mpg.

miula · 05-09-2012, 10:31 AM

About 18 mpg. highway, 10 mpg. city and 15 mpg. mixed with 3500 miles on the clock and moderate non-spirited driving other than WOT to pass once in a while. I wonder if something is going on with my 1M; it seems to be getting lower than average numbers... Any ideas what would cause a drop in fuel economy without affecting anything else???

Stratus650 · 05-09-2012, 01:05 PM

21.6 mpg (10.9 L/100km) city driving, car has 7k miles
