How does driving in manual mode affect gas mileage, because on my E90 335, I'm only averaging 17 miles per gallon combined city highway in manual mode.

I like comfort mode, comfort mode in DS is pretty nice. Sport mode is just to agreesive with the throttle response unless i am wanting to drive really aggressive

1200 miles on the odometer so far....
My route to work is 1/3 city and traffic lights and 2/3 freeway. I have been using Eco-pro religiously and never go above 75 on the freeway. The car is averaging 29.5 mpg combined. If I make a long trip on the freeway I can get 36 just setting the cruise to 75. I'm betting closer to 38 for a 100 mile trip.

28.2 MPG average over 2000 miles. 328i sport auto, mix of all driving modes. 30 mph avg speed, 30 highway/70 city.
I'm very happy. My e92 328xi got 20.5 MPG. And my previous daily driver, a Nissan Titan Pro-4X got 13 MPG. I'm saving significant money at the pump. |

Loving all of these great mpg posts. When I grab the car in 8 days I will report my findings! I will be doing 80 percent highway, hopefully yielding close to 30 mpg!

This is from a 738 mile, three day trip up the CA coast in my F30 335i. In comfort mode the whole way and probably 90% freeway at 65-70 MPH.
As you can see the trip computer shows 33.6 MPG for the entire trip. A manual calculation of 738.1/22.2 gallons of fuel = 33.2. So the trip computer is optimistic by about .4 MPG. The same trip in my 2011 E92 335i always netted around 29-30 MPG, so this is a nice improvement. |

At around 350 miles, I have driven mostly in town (about 80% city, freeway about 20% (and freeway also being much like city driving most of the time lol)) and I'm averaging at 25-25.5 mpg. Kind of worse than I expected, especially since I used Eco Pro a lot (then again, I had my moments where I took off too fast lol).
Oh well, I can drive about the same amount of miles with this car as I could with my X5 and with the current price, a full tank of gas is about 30 bucks cheaper than it was in my X5. I guess I can't really complain

Here are my latest fuel economy numbers, for a 328i Auto, roughly 50/50 mix of highway/city driving, all modes, mostly Comfort:
1st Fill-up: Computer: 27.7mpg, Actual: 26.0 2nd Fill-up: Computer: 28.6mpg, Actual: 27.0 3rd Fill-up: Computer: 29.1mpg, Actual: 27.8 4th Fill-up: Computer: 31.2mpg, Actual: 29.6 For the 4th fill-up Start/Stop has been working regularly, as temps here in Seattle have gone up. My driving habits have not changed. Very happy with these numbers! |

Thanks Malc, good to see an old friend here!
I'm very happy the mileage seems to to be going up and up as the car accrues miles; my driving habits have not changed at all if anything I am using the performance more! |

Got a 320d ED auto in the UK. Averaging 57 MPG over the first 1000 miles. Driving on motorways about 70% of the time and using ECO PRO pretty much exclusively.

Over ~1000km (600 mi) with my 2012 335i sedan AT:
8.8 L/100km combined (27 mpg) 7.5 L/100km commute avg (33 mpg) Overall I'd say I'm about 40% comfort, 40% eco, and 20% sport. On the commute it's probably 90% eco. |

It's Really nice to see people using the Eco, comfort and sport to their advantage. Many people are stating yup I use Eco on the highway and so forth and change into sport when I want to have more fun. That is exactly what this was made for, and one of my main reasons for purchase!

remember UK gallon is about 20% larger than US gallon, so in US terms you are getting about 46mpg, which is still fantastic!

My numbers make me think BMWs original 24/36 figures are more accurate than those from EPA which are 23/33 I believe (328i Auto). |

SR, what is your indicated average speed on your 50-50 commute? 29 mpg is pretty impressive. I'm trying to compare the mpg of the new 328 to my 335d, but I need to get a more accurate picture of what sort of driving people are doing to get their numbers.

Can't remember average speed for my commute I will try to note it tomorrow. Haven't really been using A/C at all yet as it hasn't been warm enough, not sure what effect that will have on mpg. |
