MPG please

[2fast]

Ok you posted about gas price's What MPG do you get out of your E34
Mine 89 auto and I get 19.5 MPG around town 50-80 kmh.

Have not had It long enough to tell you the MPG on the open road is.

I normaly don't think in MPG.

Can I change the comp in the car to read KM PER L????

90 535 5-speed, all around driving by the computer 20.8.

12.6 l per 100 kms easy round town with some "freeway".If you look at the obc there is abutton that swaps between metric and imperial...but it will swap all units ie temp will be deg c,distance will be km,consumption litres per 100km

according to computer, ~20mpg with city/highway driving. Highway only ~25 and city only is ~ 15..depending on which lead weight I stick in my sock.

In my 94 540i with 136k miles on the motor: The past two tanks after installing the E.A.T. chip and trying (kinda) to drive conservatively... I'm averaging about 389 miles on 19.4 gallons, which is right around 20mpg. This involves my daily commute on construction laden freeways and a bit of city driving.

If I'm doing a pure highway drive road trip I can get about 25mpg. Not too shabby for a V8.

using "CONS1" on the OBC ...
around town about 19.5
to work and back (31 miles each way at peak times) 20.5
on a long run usually about 24.5

I dont think I could get it significantly higher than this, but then again fuel economy was NOT one of the reasons I bought this car !

However, its going to be interesting to see how the EAT chip affects the figures, will it improve mpg or just encourage me to floor the throttle more ?

I set "CONS2" to zero when I got the car at 97k and haven't reset it, it shows 20.6 now.

(these are all miles per imperial gallon - not US)

I get 26 mpg (9 l/100 km) highway or 13 mpg (18 l/100 km) city driving (short routes, a lot of traffic lights).

My car is a '92 525i manual.

From computer, only reset for battery disconnects, 23.5 mpg overall. Driving is mixed - town & highway.

Highway 27.7 mpg over flat 80 mile distance (I do the same route often going 75-80 mph).

Quite pleased!

My MPG computer consistently shows 21.1 for a combination city and highway. I was hoping for more with the 2.5 liter, oh well.
