I use the same fuel - currently at 69k miles - seems like something must be off if you're only getting 12mpg. Don't think dirty fuel injectors will effect your gas mileage such a significant amount; could their be a small leak in your tank?

Hope you figure out what it is

I justify the 18 mpg I average in my 335xi by taking into account the fact that e85 is at $2.99/gal. While I only use about 5 gal/tank of 93 octane, that is still a savings of almost $3/tank.

And of course a couple of WOT pulls are necessary after every fill-up so the JB4 auto-tune map can adjust properly.

And that's with multiple runs over 100+mph. Still a lot better than getting 200 miles out of a full tank of 91 on my old STI.

I don't even get 250 on 93 oct, what other mods do you have?

My car is fbo. I don't do any city driving though, just highway's and freeways, but like I said I cruise at 80-90 and go WOT a lot. Especially with the new map 5, its too hard not too . According to my dash I'm getting 20.8 mpg.

Same story for me. But tonight on a 120mi trip at 70-75mph I still got my standard 33.6mpg. If I'm über nice I can get up to 36mpg. I drive a lot so I play the "can I get my MTE to 600" game. It's possible. ;-)
