    Welp used car prices are about to absolutely tank after the market is flooded with these rental cars.

        This is probably my favorite shot of the trip, dangling some of the 275s off the asphalt

                Been doing a lot of homework throughout the work day the past couple of days. Probably 10-15 races down over different time periods. Mostly 90s to early 00s.

                The FW17 and the B195 are probably my favorite F1 cars.

                Murray Walker for F1 and Paul Page for Indy are such iconic voices.

                  Anyone track how many miles they get on a tank of gas in their e30 (with an m20)?

                    When I was keeping track: at Blackhawk Farms Raceway 11-13 mpg, at Road America 8-10 mpg. Your street mileage will likely be higher. 😁

                      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 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.

                                MPG talk makes me miss my e36 318is, I averaged 33mpg no problem.

                                Definitely don't get over 20 on the e30 now, but that's my fault.

                                  Commuting my 325i I was always pretty stoked to get anywhere north of 20 mpg. 

                                  The e30 318is was consistently getting 28+ hwy.
