Freeway MPG
-
My first full tank netted me an overall average of 26.6 mpg. That's with the first 80 miles consisting of a short city drive to the hwy, 13 miles total to/from work.
My hwy trip had two passengers and a fully loaded car (set of 17" wheels/snow tires, passenger luggage etc..). So, I'm hoping/guessing that 28-30 is achievable with just me and the open road.

34-36 is what I got in the 528e from what I can remember. The E36 318is was pretty similar too. In town average I could get 26 if I was good.
19.1 is my best in the suburban, 17.8 is average.
WHAT??? How? The best i can pull outta the 528e is 27mpg the e46 gets 32mpg hwy and my van gets 22.5 average and the cherokee (when it ran properly before my sister fucked the 4.0) got 20mpg with a 4" lift!

When I got the e39 the gauge read 31.4 MPG. I have no idea how the previous owner got that good of mpgs. The best I ever got was 27.8 Mpg before the 02 went out. Now o average about 20.6 MPG mainly city running 93 or with 91 no ethanol. I do have an 18.5 gallon gas tank so the mpg doesnt matter to much with that size tank

I would venture to say that the e34 (525i, non vanos m50) gets around 27 mpg average and about 23-25 mpg in town. The compact (318ti, m42) was getting about 34-36 mpg average with it being around 30 mpg in town. I was running 93 octane minimum in the compact due to the Midnight Tuning chip and I run mid-grade in the e34. I almost always only fill up at Shell since it seems to run the best and get the best mileage=)

I pretty consistently avg 24-25 mpg with mostly city driving. When I drove to Louisville averaging 80-90 mph I cranked out 26.3 mpg and 30.4 mpg on the way back averaging 75 mph. It's amazing what a hangover will do for your mpg's...

mph > mpg

Mine is horrible, I should be getting 32-36 (used to get this on my last 99, maybe it had a better tune?), but getting around 20 right now. Good thing I drive it about 10 miles a week.

Ive ran premium and regular in the e28 and its getting the same mpg?
