Fuel mileage
I was curious what fuel mileage the 3.0 is city and highway. I'm waiting for the diesel, but a friend of mine doesn't think it's worth the extra money for fuel as well as what BMW will want over the gas 3.0...
BMW is rating the diesel at 19 MPG city 25 MPG highway. BTW, I'm going to order the diesel... Thanks, Craig |
I have the 3.0 SI and get about 12/13 city and 17/18 highway, not very good really. I generally use 89 octane. (car has 3400 miles). I have not tried 91 octance for an extended period, that may help a bit, but don't think it is really worth the increase in cost. The car runs fine on 89.

I have the 3.0 and get around 17 combined city/hwy. The computer says 19 but it's actually lower. Not bad for a big vehicle. I only use premium as recommended by BMW.

Also, I suspect these fuel economy numbers will increases once the car has several thousand miles on it. In addition, I actually find the new EPA ratings to be too low. The combined mileage on my 330 under the new ratings is 20 MPG, but I actually get 24 MPG. |
I have 500 miles on my 4.8i and average 13.8 mpg with 100% city driving

I am getting a combined (more city) 10.8 L/100Km or 26 mpg (imperial) or 21.78 mpg (US) on my 3.0D 11250 miles onthe clock!

19 mpg average mostly highway, but some city in there with a 3.0si.

Vehicle just likes to drink gas, seems to me wherever I go I am always at half tank by the time I get home (4.8, mostly city driving, and 583 miles).
