i have a 97 e36 m3/4... and my mpg sucks.... ive been only getting 19 mpgs ... around 270-300 on a full tank... my car is completely stock, only a ssk and ive replaced my plugs, air filter... btw: i drive 80% city and 20% freeway... is this normal? if not what should i do? i only have 74k on my car...

I drive about 50/50 freeway/streets and I get like 18-20mpg too. I have most of the basic NA mods.

Same.

good, i feel alittle better... you think the level you live at makes a big differents?

i have a 98 M3... get around the same thing as you, 300 for a full tank on chevron, and 340 on shell.

Both of mine have got 23.8ish pretty consistently. This is mostly highway driving, however. Maybe 80/20.

17..:(

i need to get a civic....

I've been hunkered down around 18mpg. I need a new crankshaft position sensor. :(

According to OBC, 28-29 freeway, low 20's in the city, and about 23 mixed.

Same here.

Pour some fuel injector cleaner in there. (Chevron Techron)

That, coupled with new plugs. I'm getting around 350 / tank. *Slightly less during spirited driving..:devillook

I was getting around 270 before.

26-27 highway

20 going at 80mph all the time, going fast and shifting at 4,200-4,500

21-24 between 70-75mph and shifting gears at 3,500-3,700 rpms in streets.

13mpg :(

20mpg with a broken Tstat 90/10 city/freeway.

He is saying 90% city and 10% freeway driving.

I average ~25mpg with probably 60/40 city/freeway.

14-15mpg pretty consistently. Between the traffic jams, the s/c, and my lead foot, my mpg doesn't have a chance

If I'm on the highway, I can get 22mpg. But a combination of the two yields about 20mpg. Yay 3.38! :shifty

I've been getting about 21-22 lately, thats about 50/50 city/hwy. I dont know why because normally I get much less. I have been stepping on it though and I have calculated I get better mileage. Maybe because I coast more. It's weird.

+1. I don't even know what exact MPG I get now but I can tell you that it's a cow. I watch the needle go down when I drive in the city.

$3.53/gal for 91, oil companies turning huge profits, this is awesome.

I just bought a Jeep too, probably not one of my wiser decisions. Should have gotten a Civic! Woo woo.

I want a civic :shifty

I want a civic :shifty
Seriously.

I drive about 70% city
Drive pretty spirited once its fully warmed up. I average 20mph/ 300ish a tank.

Seriously.

I love how people get laughed at for driving around bland put-put cars as their daily commuters when really they're smarter than all of us and have probably saved thousands on gas over the years. Not to mention they probably have an AMG or M5 sitting at home or something.

I'm sure by mid-summer, I'll either not want to drive the Jeep that often except to go off-roading, or I'll sell it for a put-put four banger. ...That I'll probably end up motor swapping and turbo'ing anyway. :rofl

i've been getting about 330 miles per tank of gas. more if i only use highway. i drive about 60% highway. I have shark, intake, exhaust, pullies, m50 manifold, and 17x9 all around.

Yea the measured mpg is totally off I guess due to the chippage. It keeps telling me I'm getting around 28-30mpg lol. The math at the pump tells a far different story.

I get 20 mpg in the hilly area I live in... 100% city pretty much. Thought it was only me getting shitty mpg like this..

:stickoutt

Yeah, it deeked me out too when I filled up for the first time after the charger. I got 32mpg. :rofl

The greatest part was it said I had a 500 mile range on a 3/4 fill-up.

12mpg driving conservatively.

with gas prices the way they are i am babying my car so i get around 20

You guys should all be stoked my M5 gets 12 on a good day. Plus I have to use a damn 15$ additive with every tank of premium to keep the f****r from pinging.
Stupid CARB give us back 93!
Bastards!

Hmm, last I put fuel in my car, I got about 320 miles on $150 in Fuel. I averaged about 12 MPG on the track at Sears Point, but at $5.50 gal, it adds up fast!

According to OBC, 26-28 freeway.. usually about 24 city. :dunno Not too bad considering my last vehicle was a Z71 Silverado that would get up to about 15 mpg on the freeway. :shifty

my obc says I get 20mpg with mostly city driving. I'm getting around 250-270 miles to the tank.
