I just put fuel in when the gauge gets down to a quarter of a tank, don't look at the mileage or mpg. If I was worried about that I'd of bought a diseasel!

Yea I always reset the trip when I fill up.
Filled up today for 63.
Got 320 out of the tank. Normally fill up at just below a quarter left or about 70 miles.
Drive a 325i manual.

You average 45MPG from a 335d?

That is the best case cruise scenario I've seen.

I average 28MPG overall in my 335i but I spend too much time in the city.

On a drive it will produce 35MPG at motorway speeds but can do more if you spend time saving fuel.

60 litre tank!

38 mpg = 500 miles
41mpg = 530 miles

You guys must be running things closer to the limit than I would.

£75 of premium fuel is all my tank has taken.

£75 at my price is 11.8 gallon or 53.6 litre

My computer has once read that I could get 550 miles to a full tank when I was stupidly granny like. 65mph cruise all the way.

On average I do an 8 mile trio to work and back. My car only gets warm in the last 3 mins of the drive.
So I am always running rich, burning lots of fuel.

If it is all town driving I get about 240miles MAX! That it still driving carefully..but once it does warm up I sometimes have some fun.

Weird right, yet my obc says I'm getting 35-38mpg on the drive/route I tend to cover for the most part during the week. Of course this will alter if I feel my right foot gets heavier or on the motorway steadily cruising along.

85% of my daily drive to work and back is relaxed driving no nonsense. I may put my foot down for a short stint here and there but that's more in the way home... Who the fk wants to get into work earlier than required

Averaging 28mpg in 335i is brilliant. I'd have easily got me a 335i due to its lower outright price, but I do cover about 15-18k mileage per annum so it made sense to get a D, plus the enormity of torque is still novel for me, 9 months on!!

Anyways, I don't actually care too much about few miles more/less as I just love driving her ! Remap is on the agenda and soon too!
