Mixed driving, I'm getting about 25.2 MPG on my 335i.

[BavarianFanatic]

With over 3k since I picked it up in Munich, my running average is 27.2 MPG. I'm probably about 80/20 highway/city. All in Sport or Sport+. I see 30+ on long highway stints. 335i 6sp by the way.

6sp FTW. I got 31MPG in Sport Mode on a 400+mile trip.

Running average is in sig - ~26.1 average at 50/50 city / highway - even better than my old E46 330i 5MT.
I got ~33.1 for 350 mi on road trip last week, averaging 65+.

I don't drive in Eco Pro much at all and that is designed more to reduce city consumption by limiting pace of acceleration away from lights, etc. I do not think if helps much on highway.

since new on my car, i've hovered around 19mpg combined(+/- .1). i haven't reset the meter once. about 3700 miles in.

Im finally getting 27mpg average 70% hwy/30% city in Eco Pro in F30 328i at 1500 mi. I was getting 25 mpg in my E92.. Seriously expected much better with the change from the inline 6. I do remember the E92 gradually got better the more miles it had. Guess there is hope with gas prices going up again.

28.2 MPG at 1500 miles. 60/40 split highway/city. Mostly in Eco Pro and babying it.

Edit: xDrive

[hollandog]

I've been averaging around 20MPG for the past few tanks.

70% ECO PRO 15% COMFORT 15% SPORT
80% City 20% HIGHWAY with NYC traffic.

328i xDrive. with 1950 miles.
Previous G37x was averaging 16MPG with similar driving.

I did a drive to NC... with a bike on the roof. The second to last one is an error, not sure what happened there.

Edit: I drive mostly in sport except on the highway since I have a 6spd and want it to feel like a mechanical 6spd.

Driver mod seems to be the biggest factor. If I baby it, I can break 26mpg in city driving, slight change in behavior (a couple spirited sprints) and that will go down to 24 really fast.

Drive aggressively for 25% or more of time, I'm looking at 20. Drive it hard the whole tank.. Well, I got 17 mpg my first half tank.

Can easily get 35mpg+ on flat ground on a long highway cruise at if you keep it under 75mph.

335i btw. Carry on.

99% of the time I drive in Comfort. Every now and again I'll use sport+, but dont bother with eco pro or sport.

320d 42.7mpg, 60% freeway, 40% city, comfort mode.

[Johnb053]

After 8000 km * average 30.57 mpg

328i

[Fille]

This is a shot of my iDrive in a 320d after a calm commute to work with little traffic (mid day). My iDrive is in Swedish but I think you can understand what it says anyway
Although this is the best case scenario. I've gotten 3.5 l/100 km () before (67.2 US MPG) but typically with normal-heavy traffic I get around 4-4.5 l/100 km (58.8-52.2 US MPG). I should point out that my daily commute is 90 % highway and rest is in the city.
Not bad at all! Super pleased with the consumption, also i'm thinking about getting the M performance kit so it's gonna be 200 hp / 420 Nm of torque (309,7 lb ft). I wonder how that will affect the mpg

[SamS]

^^^ incredible mpg on that 320d!

I have found that the on board computer generally over estimates mpg by 5-10% compared to an actual pump calculation.

Yeah it is a bit optimistic by 5-10 %
Nevertheless ~60 mpg is awesome for this car.
Even when you drive really sporty on some country roads you get about ~40-45 mpg

[normsbimmer]

I wonder why I'm only getting 21mpg in comfort mode?

328i with 13k miles.

Are you using the ASS? You have to be fairly gentle with the throttle to meet or exceed the EPA mpg rating.

Yes sir! ASS is always on.

But sometimes I also drive like an ASS. But still, I've seen 335's get better mpg than mine with spirited driving in this thread.

Turbos aren't terribly efficient under high load compared to a larger displacement (turbocharged or not) car... If you demand a particular level of performance, it's not surprising that your fuel economy can be worse.

Plus, don't trust how us random Internet commentators characterize our driving habits. I think the definition of "city" and "spirited" driving varies a lot from person to person.

Yea, that's not a very good figure - even assuming mostly city driving/405 traffic molasses. I was gonna say maybe it's winter rubber or lower temps, but you're in So Cal so never mind...

I'm getting around the same mileage with 400 extra lbs, 20% drivetrain loss, winter tires, 20 degree temps, a supercharged V6 and mashing the gas every chance I get. Something seems wrong.
