Typically I fill up at 540-580 miles. Averaging around 35 mpg hand calculated. 70% going 70 and 30% in stop and go traffic. I run JBD at 100% but I also accelerate slowly and coast a lot

No idea how you guys are getting 30+ mpg if there's ANY city driving involved. Pure hwy I can do 35-40 mpg depending on speed and conditions, but my city is 18-22 mpg. Idling (like waiting for red lights) really seems like it kills me. and acceleration to 40 mph, even with a feather for a right foot keeps the instant read mpg gauge near pinned to the right side of the gauge. Something I should be worried about?

I bought the car last year at 25,000 on the clock and I still never got 500 miles out of a tank of fuel.
I was getting the same as now around 475 miles per tank which comes out to be around 32 mpg... |

30 or 32 mpg seems normal. My daily commute is 75 miles round trip. 70% highway. I get 30 to 32 mpg depending how I drive. As reference I also just had carbon cleaning done back in November.
Of note, on my 335d, the car's OBC was VERY optimistic by 15%. I went into the hidden settings and adjusted the mpg correction factor and now I am within 1 mpg when comparing OBC and hand calculations. Those claiming to get 40+ mpg I tend to think that is not really hand calculated mileage. Last edited by Mark M; 04-03-2014 at 09:31 AM.. |

I usually get 30 mpg with mixed local/highway "spirited" driving.. Last time I had the car out I did a 3 hour round trip at 70-75 mph (lots of police activity) and averaged 44.3 mpg according to the cars calculations

I'm lucky if I can get over 450 miles on a full tank. Most of my commute and weekend drives are on the freeway. I'm running JBD @ 100% and only on DS mode.

Think I've done 530miles in one tank before filling up. I hardly ever go below 3/8th of a tank.
My average seems to be 29.2mpg according to fuelly.
