I reset the Journey Computer when I fill up but mainly from habit, just fill & forget when I need to - I don't bother keeping any records of mpg or mileage

Normally 360miles exclusively on fast A-roads and a small amount of town. Add a bit of motorway in and that goes up to 400miles. Exclusively motorway driving? I've never tried but i should think in the region of 450miles. Current average consumption over the last 18months is 25.6mpg.

I don't reset the trip, I just record the amount I put in on the "Road Trip" app.

Always used the trip and always have as a habit. Think it's from riding motorbikes with no fuel gauge and wanting to know when I'd need to fill up!
Started using Fuelly.com just to keep a track to make sure nothing's off. Not hugely bothered by high mpg (d was for the massive torque) but a drop would show something was wrong. Usually get between 340 - 420 a tank depending on route. Work is only a 12 mile trip and sometimes with a chunk of traffic before the motorway so you're just burning fuel stationary. |

I really could not be doing with only sticking in 20 here and 20 there!
I full tank every time. 85-87 quid of V-power And get about 180-200miles a tank. |

I live in North London and work in Bournemouth so will be doing some mileage in mine.
56 Plate 320D M Sport Filled up £83 @£1.45.9 = 56.89 Litres and managed 512 miles so 40.8mpg Thats 350 Motorway and 160 town, all driving not takin fuel economy into account, 90mph ish on (private) motorways etc I did think it would be a bit better, but it's good enough. |

its all relative to the driving you are doing though and the way you drive. London driving is a nightmare...the constant stoping and starting kills your mpg regardless of the engine size or type. On the motorway its not just your average speed but your aggressiveness as well. I can get 36mpg in my 325i on the motorway but that pampering the right foot and gently getting up to speed whenever i've been slowed down. Yesterday I got 28mpg on the motorway!...nuff said! lolol!...i need to enjoy the 3litre lump else should have got a 318i!

See my fuelly sig. I reset the trip every time because I've always done it and it's habit now.
I always fill the tank too - can't be doing with £20 here and there. I'm going to use the same amount of fuel whether I make 4 stops for £20 or 1 for £80, so by filling up completely I save myself time standing at the pumps in the freezing cold. |
