I don't have S/C I have nitrous. I have Dinan stage 3 engine and transmission software.

on my '05 4.4i with a well maintained engine/tranny (as I'm sure most of you have as well), I get 531miles to a tank when cruising at 65mph. I've done that a bunch of times and its funny cause I NEVER thought I'd be able to get that. And thats not math from the RANGE either, its legit begin to end of trip mileage.
This is also in winter when gas gets sucked back more, BUT I run 255/55R18's too, so it kinda evens out I guess. |
I checked my Dinan receipts. I have stage 4 engine and transmission software that matches up with Dinan other mods other than the S/C. There is engine software that comes with the supercharger but there is no stage associated. Stage 4 is to match up with Dinan throttle body, air flow meter, cold air box and exhaust.

FWIW, I add 10 oz of Lucas Upper Cylinder Lube with each fill up, an addition $3 on a $90 fill is not noticeable. I've been using this product for over 20 yrs and have yet to have a fuel system issue on any of my vehicles. Regular city driving in the Dallas area returns around 400 miles per tank (just now checked the OBC, 345 traveled with 53 to E) |
Great! I see that our vehicles with the proper maintenance and care will yield great MPG. But FYI the vehicles are set with the speedometer/odometer to that vehicle configuration, ie engine, transmition, diff, tire size, to get the most accurate mileage, meaning changing the size of the tire to a smaller one will spin faster telling the vehicle is going more miles than it ussually goes, so in the long run it will say an innacurate reading. Somewhere on the net, there's a tire/speed calculator that will tell you what is your actual speed, which in the long run will affect the odometer reading, just look into it.

Yep...Orlando to Deerfield Beach & back on ONE TANK (410 miles) in my 4.8is. Best gas mileage of any vehicle I ever owned - including a straight 6 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I guess I was spoiled getting 22-23 MPG (and 300 lb./ft. of torque) from my 2007 335i before I traded it in on my 4.8is. The first few fillups have been a little painful, but worth it for the extra cargo room (the reason for the trade). I'm averaging about 14-15 MPG with mostly city driving. Looking forward to seeing what I can get on my first long road trip (most likely to Grandma's house).
