Q. What did the black tarmac say to th e red tarmac?

A. You better keep an eye on that green tarmac...he is a cyclepath.

Getting between 44 - 47mpg out of a 320d E92 manual ED mainly around town and with short runs with the ever so slightly irritating Stop/Start thing active.

Longer Motorway runs at 70mph

are seeing averages of 55-58mpg

seamaster · 03-26-2011, 07:27 PM

Dorset to the NEC, onto Lincoln and back home to Dorset, 46.9mpg, and went up to 49.5 on the roadworks on the A46. First time I have reset the average speed and fuel consumption in 9000 miles, It was showing 40.9mpg over town and b road driving before I reset it.

325d SE Auto 2007 E91

Abouttotaketheplunge · 04-05-2011, 07:21 AM

E90 - 320d - 2007 - Manual - 43.1 mpg

Can't quite fathom why i am not getting higher than this as vast majority of mileage is on motorway and dual carriageway.

icanseeformiles · 04-06-2011, 05:04 AM

2006 E92 - 325i - Manual - 27.8MPG since October 2010
Lots of short trips in the country with little motorway mileage.

ChrisE91 · 04-14-2011, 09:22 AM

2007 E91 - 320D - Manual - 650 miles to £77 of fuel @136.9p/l. A roads and a fair amount of motorway.

ddogg35 · 04-14-2011, 01:37 PM

2006 E90 - 318i - Manual - 24.1mpg over the last 1000 miles mostly winter
nearer 30 now

chrismanchr · 04-16-2011, 05:53 PM

325i e92 2007 29.7mpg over 1000miles since i bought it good? or bad?

i had a 330i e46 and on long runs i could get 37mpg but short runs to work etc and cold starts ,in the winter it dropped to 18mpg

i saw petrol @ 139.9 today jesus ,cycling to work from now on

reidtastic · 04-23-2011, 08:14 AM

E90 330i m sport - 2006 - 25mpg over 5k mostly short runs 40mph driving.

It will push low 30s on a run, but driving frugally in it really pees me off ! it loves the revs !

fadeel · 04-27-2011, 09:56 AM

2006 E90 320D SE Pre LCI getting 46-48 mpg and thats mostly motorway with very few town miles.

Bit upsetting considering my Audi A3 did 60 mpg all day long

rj1 · 05-02-2011, 12:26 PM

320d 177, Sept 2008, 44.5mpg usually shorter journeys.

parapaul · 05-06-2011, 08:24 AM

Just to get my fuelly sig in the thread - 2007 330d auto - first couple of tanks were 37ish mpg, then it went into the dealer to have its wiper sorted out with the OBC showing 37mpg, and came out showing 32...

I think they must have left it running with the aircon going full whack for an hour while they looked at it... Twunts.

Hopefully back up to something a bit more sensible when I next fill up

Edit: This is a mostly a 20 mile trip each way to work, 5 miles across town then 15 on an empty motorway at 70mph. Maybe once a week to the shops.

rjs · 05-06-2011, 08:55 AM

2007 335i auto - approx 21mpg since new (maybe 26 on a motorway run)

rich1068 · 05-06-2011, 10:44 AM

500 miles in a brand new E91 320d, virtually all town driving, 35.3mpg

ALF_E90 · 05-06-2011, 12:45 PM

Nearly 100 miles today, driving like a saint at the speed limit, mostly motorway some twisty B-roads, 330i Touring ED:

!!!!!!!1

bodgerx · 05-09-2011, 03:54 PM

Had a 2008 E91 318i ED for a few weeks now. Getting:

43mpg average.

Mix of town and country (A/B roads) driving (30% town 70% country).

Got 47mpg today on a pure country run with a quick trip into town.

Pretty good for 2.0L petrol estate car really....

Bob S · 05-12-2011, 09:51 AM

Had my 325d nearly a fortnight now. 800 miles or so on it and averaging 48.7........have seen it up at 49.5 for a while. Mixture of town and motorway driving and admittedly running-in mode but impressive for a 3 litre.

rjs · 05-19-2011, 03:48 AM

1st tank on the M3 - 13.7

Your doing it right!

My average over 15 months and 22k miles (£6.5k spent on petrol

) is exactly 20mpg. OBC reads, on average, 1.3mpg over actual.

OBC read 14.3 so not too far off.

I had a software update in May last year - until then the variance was 0.8mpg. From then 1.4

123Alp · 05-22-2011, 04:19 PM
