How many kilometers do you do with one tank?

mdg001 · 06-08-2010, 05:28 PM

Well...

Dunno if its my aggressive driving, but i can only do ~300km

with a full tank of Shell V Power.

80% city driving and 20% highway.

Just curious to see how much others are getting with a full tank.

EDIT: i am driving a 2009 135i vert

Taymaishu · 06-08-2010, 05:41 PM

On the 125i (128) I get around 540km city driving. If i'm messing around and driving with some spirit (ok, that's most of the time) i'll get around 500km.

Freeway that jumps to 660km if i can behave myself and stick to the limit of 110km/h.

magha · 06-08-2010, 05:49 PM

i get around 400 mostly city

Yvette · 06-08-2010, 06:48 PM

128i MT, around 480KM

BMW86 · 06-08-2010, 06:57 PM

I used to get around 280-300km for the first 30,000km's. Lately, I've been driving in D where I can and I get an extra 50-100km's per tank! I think it also helps that my car is fully broken in now

dread1 · 06-08-2010, 07:41 PM

about 500km in a 135i 6speed. mixed city and highway probaly closer to 450 tho

Irishace · 06-08-2010, 07:52 PM

No more than 400km.

135Bling · 06-08-2010, 09:36 PM

around 400km for me mainly city

Chap · 06-08-2010, 11:06 PM

300km here as well.

mshahidz · 06-09-2010, 12:38 AM

300-400 depending on how much lead i inject into my feet. 400 is me driving granny

spun · 06-09-2010, 10:47 AM

400 all city, gets better if I'm on the highway but since theres only 1 highway in Vancouver, thats not very often.
Added- My car (2010 135i coupe) has never anything other than 94 from Chevron

Stratos · 06-09-2010, 11:02 AM

About 700 Km.

In a 120d..

IS+1 · 06-10-2010, 09:01 AM

I have a 2011 135i 6MT (N55) with only slightly over 7000 km and have always gotten at least 450 km out of a tank, if not more. On the highway, averaging about 125-130 km/h, I can get close to 600 km on a tank.

I followed the break-in procedure and use Shell V-Power 91 Octane almost exclusively.

I've also been to TO 3 times since I got my car and even in dense TO traffic I would not drop to 400 km/tank.

You guys must be having a LOT more fun with your cars than I am. I guess I just need to push it harder, but then again I'm usually with my wife and she doesn't appreciate such behavior.

pokerface · 06-10-2010, 09:22 AM

not sure if it helps but i can get 600-700 on my 325. the DTE has read up to 850+ but i wouldn't want to granny it for an entire week...

blackz30 · 06-10-2010, 01:12 PM

2009 135i 6MT. 350-400km/tank normally 60% city 40% highway including stuck in rush hour traffics morning and evening.
Last time when I was driving to Montreal, I got around 580km a tank on 401.

Our gas tank is too small for our engine size... less than 55L, even smaller than the tank in a mini cooper!

johndeere · 06-10-2010, 04:30 PM

I get about 400-450 (I do about half city half highway) Manual, and am at about 16K right now.

lavmugen · 06-10-2010, 04:38 PM

im really surprised at how little you guys get with 1 tank....

maybe it's my driving habits...

i used to get around 650~700km in my MKV GTI while others are struggling to get 500km

now im getting around 500~600km in my N55 135i (i have 3400km so far) and im about 60% highway and 40% city driving.

only chevron 94 for both cars by the way.

It's your car's average speed man.

You must be not only driving gently but also not too fast. Like I bet under 120kph. IF I use my cruise control and drive under 130 kph I can average 9.5 liters/100 kph. That is roughly 19 mpg I think.

Normally I can get 440 kms on one tank. I average about 12L/100 kph. I normally fill up on 48 liters or so. Sometimes a bit more. SuperPlus gas at 98 (german) octane.

Normally after I have driven 300 kms or so I am looking for a gas station. Mainly bc in order to get Tax Free gas(only $3 per gallon) in Germany... we Americans need to use an Esso card at any Germany Esso(Exxon) station. But... there are few Esso's on the Autobahns. And having a Navi helps me find the off autobahn ones. Paying for German gas at $7 per gallon is not fun! Esp while driving a 135i thirst for fuel! :")

The worst fuel mileage I have seen is 145 kms on HALF a tank, 28 liter fill up. When I drove up to Hamburg I drove almost 600 miles and had to fill up three times in one day! Two full fillups and one half tank fillup. I never thought I would see the day when I would be buying two or three tanks of gas in one day! lol But I do.

Now when I travel somewhere far... I drive 130 kph and set the criuse. Unless something tastey appears in my rear view mirror and the autobahn is empty! :") Even though the computer will say 470 kms left on a full tank... when I get to near 400km, I am looking for fuel/tanken.

mdg001 · 06-10-2010, 09:58 PM

Wow! thanks for all your replies!

Maybe i need to change by driving habits

NOT!!!!

When i took possession of my car in Toronto (live in Montreal) i did manage to do ~600km with my tank.

Bullet Blue · 06-16-2010, 07:32 PM

I'm averaging 12.9 L/100 kms and get anywhere from 400 to 480 kms per tank depending on if I drive like a jack-ass or not

Irishace · 06-16-2010, 08:41 PM

Map 7 is not condusive to fuel efficiency.

SiN55 · 06-17-2010, 02:55 AM

11,5lit./100km is on my board comp. Normal city drive.
