My Gas Mileage? Yours?

ctown113 · 09-04-2010, 03:05 PM

I average about 175 miles before having to fill up again (all city driving). I personally dont think I drive to the car "too hard". Is this normal? Should i be getting more miles? The car tells me I average 13.1 MPG. Just wondering...
Thanks!

Oh, I have an e92 M3.

17.9 mix of 60% freeway, 40% city with fairly spirited driving. This is over lastv2000 miles.

JOHNBMWM5 · 09-04-2010, 03:13 PM

Mainly highway, and main A roads, 23/25MPG, this is a chipped engine too 438BHP and really is a joy to drive. Uses NO oil.

SchnellM3 · 09-04-2010, 03:14 PM

Better than me I average 11.3

tudernos · 09-04-2010, 03:27 PM

80% city and 20% highway. I get on average 16.5 MPG. I'll drive about 190-200 miles before I have to fill up again. I'll occasionally push the car and have a little fun but majority of the time I drive conservatively.

kmarei · 09-04-2010, 03:30 PM

17.3 mpg average

Frozen Black Panther · 09-04-2010, 03:36 PM

16

sameh · 09-04-2010, 03:39 PM

21 M/G mostly hwy. I go at least 300 miles between fills.

哇靠M3 · 09-04-2010, 03:41 PM

16-17mpg mixed. but being in a place with lots of hills and climbs, YMMV

Poppin Fresh · 09-04-2010, 03:47 PM

16 mixed, but 12.3 with M button on.

Scoobe · 09-04-2010, 04:39 PM

Around 20. DCT seems to get much better than 6MT.

catserfp · 09-04-2010, 04:44 PM

14 mpg / dct.

bobbyd1961 · 09-04-2010, 04:57 PM

mostly around town with some highway, but not long range it was at 16.2 for the longest time but just dropped to low 15s

Frozen Black Panther · 09-04-2010, 05:04 PM

how the fuck are any of you getting over 20?

TailHappyM3 · 09-04-2010, 05:05 PM

Don't know, don't care.

95% highway (fast driving!) 22.4 mpg at 6500 miles on od

henryyxyu · 09-04-2010, 05:16 PM

60% fwy, 20% downtown la rush hour traffic (

), 20% normal street driving. Usually drive in auto mode (DCT) on D3 with a pretty light foot

14.2

During the weekends when I don't have to put up with much traffic, I get about 17.6

Hunter399 · 09-04-2010, 05:19 PM

I get around 14, mostly city.

The DCT tranny seems to get slightly better gas mileage than the MT. It goes to 7th gear so quickly i find it extremely annoying so I tend to keep it in the manual mode.
