335d mpg

For anyone that cares, drove 1:15 hours today - mainly motorway (cruise) on Eco Pro (there's a first for everything). Two up with some kit. 39mpg.

Just shows the difference that xDrive makes to the MPG. Did a similar trip with three up, a rammed full boot, no eco pro at all and got 52MPG with my 330d.

Sounds a bit low. I got around 46mpg the other week on the Fosse Way (ie A road) in Sport mode (but only set to chassis), the wife, kids and a bootfull of presents!

A roads are usually worse on mpg as speed is not as constant as the motorway.

Seems a bit low to me. Can you give more details?

I got 46mpg over 30 miles with a mix of Motorway at 75mph and town driving, including traffic jams....

Well, there's hope yet!

Car has 800 miles on the clock. Will that make much difference?

Little bit hilly but otherwise steady -Eco Pro and Cruise most of the way. Maybe a few mph too fast, that would make a diff I'm sure.

I get > 40 mpg on an urban commute out of mine. Easily see 45 mpg in mixed (fair bit using plenty of throttle) runs. Seen 48 mpg on a 1.5hr motorway cruise (not an economy run).

Mine had done about the same mileage at the time.

My 330d feels like a totally different car after 5000 miles. Everything is looser and slicker. Felt very tight to begin with and revving it felt unwilling. I don't have any comparable MPG stats and now I'm driving it like a lunatic (whereas before I was being more cautious), it is probably worse if anything. Like for like, it's probably better though (given the general loosening).

I have MPG statistics from new.....it doesn't seem to have made any difference. What you might gain from a 'worn in' engine, you lose in new engine efficiency.

Ouch that is a little worrying, I'm sure a 335i would hit 40+mpg on a steady cruise.
