On our M's how many miles can we average per tank? How many gallons are our tanks? Does anybody really get 22 MPG?
I need to know this to determine when I pick my 05 up will it be cheaper to fly to Florida from Oklahoma or drive. I am leaning towards flying (cheaper) but I would love to roll back home in style!!! Plus I want to race my old Stang I sold to my friend!! Traction is my advantage, even with the Nitto 555 drag radials on my ol Stang...

It depends on how fast you are driving... I get anywhere from 200 to a tank to 360 miles on one tank.

Yeah, you can get about 360 if you are highway driving. That is a pretty far drive though, for a car without any miles.

I get between 280 miles and 310 miles per tank. On average, just short of 20 MPG. The tank capacity is 17 US gallons.

In the 02 i was getting 21.5 average. When i bought it in buffalo and drove it back home it was 365 miles and i made it on one tank..average was 24.5. Really depends on how you are driving, i have no doubt the m3 is capeable of 28-30 if you set the cruise at 65mph. But somehow i could never stick to that. :D

My best was almost 390 miles to a full tank!! But, of course I set the cruise at around 65mph as mentioned above, very boring with this car! :) But, I did that just to see what kind of mileage I would get driving very conservatively back and forth to work, ~74 miles roundtrip.. :cool Needless to say, I am back to about 320 - 360 miles per tank and again that's using cruise, on occasion.

I think I might be going back to the 320 to a tank, it's hard driving this car so slowly. :evil2

I get about 320 on a tank in mixed driving (the gauge reads 1/4), and I can average about 22 to 24mpg if I am nice. Usually I get about 20mpg.


Enjoy.
