What is the farthest u have gone on a single gas tank

I noticed you've posted similar threads with similar questions, many of which have already been answered in other threads. My best advise would be to use the search function. You'll (immediately) find other members responses to the MPG questions, etc.

In any case, you shouldn't have a problem finding your answer. There's a wealth of knowledge here sometimes you just have to look. Good luck.

i drive all highway miles right now in ecopro and get 40 mpg average. i filled my tank up yesterday and the display says 609mls. i don't know how accurate it is but it also said 600+ last time i filled up.

edit: seems correct actually. i drive 400 miles a week and last time i filled up was 3/12.

This is amazing news. My commute is about 70 miles round trip all highway, and this is exactly what I'm hoping to get!

Sounds very promising. Gas prices are killing me right now and for some reason my 10 year old Lexus seems to guzzle more every month....

Non Non... cant trust that.. the computer is always optimistic...

what you need to do is: fill up your gas tank!
reset your trip computer
drive it until it's practically on fumes
then give us that number...


this needs to be scientifically done... there is no room for guestimate here..

I know it's not the F30 but I might as well just throw it out here...

I am currently close to 28,000 miles and still have my first gas tank (seriously, I blame this on my car's big hole on the back ).

No, incorrect. The best way to do this is as follows:

• Fill up the tank until the gas pump stops automatically.
• Reset the trip meter.
• Drive the car until the warning shows up for low fuel.
• Fill it at the same gas station until the pump stops automatically.
• Divide the trip meter miles by the amount of gas on you filled up.

This is your most accurate measurement of mileage.

Not sure how much I get from a tank but I can manage 65+ mpg from my 320d on a motorway commute of 200 miles. Well happy

[DrivenByE30]

Instantaneous consumption does not answer our question here...

you could be rolling down a hill for 5 miles, going at 60mph without even stepping on the gas pedal, just letting the car in neutral,

i will bet at some point you will get 100mpg ...

but does not mean you will go 12 gallon X 100mpg = 1200 miles !

So please keep your instantaneous number away from this thread, we dont want to confuse people furthermore...




You're a bit hardcore Entropic with your method! LOL

[Miamidrivesbimmers]

I got 450 on a x5 so the 600 miles range is doable on the f30

Hahaha... even though I don't drive conservatively, I keep track of mileage every time I fill up gas. I have an excel sheet that tracks my Honda Accord mileage trends that chains back to 2006 when I bought the car! . Just something that engineers do

Now that more members have their new f30, can you guys tell us what is the most miles out of a single tank, how good is the new f30 as a highway cruiser compare to your old car.

I believe the X5 can hold more gas, so not fair to compare

pretty accurate. with my e90 335i my average for 16 gallons is about 450. I do mostly highway. so it comes to 28.125 MPG. So i can definitely believe that new 328i can do 600 ish with highway driving.. 38MPG. impressive!
