[QUOTE="KL2DC, post: 160804, member: 3452"] Dumeort: My 3.0l N52 engine unfortunately drinks like an alcoholic German (which is a lot LOL). In 95% city driving (rush hour in DC is very bad), the OBC tells me 14-17mpg and I think my range is 300ish miles. Sorry in metric, too lazy to convert. But once you take her out in the open, you can get high 20s - low 30s easy. This car is born to run and hates to be cooped up in the city. But other e90 owners seem to be getting better than me. I have a feeling my gasoline brand is not that good. I have an account with ExxonMobil so that's what I use, but when I filled up a tank of Shell V-Power the other day, my avg MPG shot up to 18-19mpg. The jury is still out, but note that Shell is a top tier fuel recommended by BMW. Also, the increased in consumption might be due to the addition of ethanol (up to 10%) here. Ethanol is not an efficient fuel. So far full tank on this beast at current gas prices is about $50-55.... p.s. you might/should get different/better results with your 2.5l engines. [/QUOTE]
