Anyone track how many miles they get on a tank of gas in their e30 (with an m20)?
I've yet to track it based upon odometer mileage and actual fuel put in, but the OBC generally reads anywhere from 18-19 mpg in mostly city or hard driving all the way up to 24ish on the highway. This is an auto vert with a 4.10 rear end, so keep that in mind.
As far as range, I don't remember exactly what I normally get off the top of my head, but something around 300-325 miles I think is about right (per OBC).

I get about 1.7 miles per tank. My ODO gears are whack

I assumed that's just how far it's been driven since you filled the tank 3 1/2 years ago.

Woah. I think I'll be lucky to break 250 on this tank. Oh well.

i've heard these grandiose tales of 27-30mpgs from 325i e30s. i believe them all to calculated with bad math and/or for the owners to be driving unreasonably boring, hypermiling like a prius owner.
i tracked fuel consumption in my M50 (more efficient than an m20) e30, on an all-highway road trip to Colorado. with a 3.25 rear end, I was getting 26mpg. granted, the car had lots of gear in it and i was doing 80mph for most
my m20 e30 that I had for 10 years had an average of around 21mpg, mixed driving.

I grew up in Sheboygan. Which is effectively its own world compared to the rest of the State.
Ever been to Fond du Lac?
