11.2 in the 5.0 lol..... 14.7 in the M. Probably more of a right foot ='s cool noise issue though.

~14 for city driving.

So how close have you guys come to running out of gas on the track? I ran it down to 1.5 gallons once.

besiktas · 07-15-2011, 05:17 PM

over the last 1800 miles, averaged 14.5 mpg actual. (digital should be around 16 mpg)
i use the gas cubby app to see how miserable my mpg is

Mr. ///M3 RD · 07-15-2011, 05:50 PM

on a long trip this spring (over 3000 KM) I managed to get 11 L/100KM going about 10% above Canadian and US speed limits. Here and then I gave her the gun

she likes it when I do it and no highway patrol around ...

09E92M34ME · 07-15-2011, 07:14 PM

wow.

ase93 · 07-17-2011, 11:08 AM

DD I get 10.2

m3keash · 07-17-2011, 12:40 PM

16.9 the first 5,500 miles. Gets 23+ on the highway at 65, 22+ at 75. The city is challenged with lots of red lights which knocks it down.

amglol · 07-17-2011, 01:02 PM

16.9

just hit 1200 miles. 50/50 highway/city, but my highway commute is usually fairly stop and go.

PhillyNate · 07-17-2011, 01:16 PM

I am improving. 14.9mpg at 485 miles. What's interesting is that this M3 is only marginally worse than my 328i because I had to keep my foot in the 328i constantly. The M3, not so much.
FYI, I've been using 93 octane (citgo) exclusively.

20 in germany home to work.

autobahn might see 23 24

AMPowerJ · 07-17-2011, 06:01 PM

Average around 18.5 but I got 6.7 on the last track outing.

Showed up at the track with 3/4 of a tank. At lunch, had to fill up with about 1/8 of a tank remaining. Left the track on fumes after the afternoon sessions. So I burned almost two tanks of gas in one track day. Gotta love it

ThunderMoose · 07-17-2011, 06:11 PM

~72 track miles = 3/4 tank consumed

Addicted2M · 07-17-2011, 06:53 PM

16.2 Now that I have been working on my self control skills, normally around 12.0

Wolf-e92 · 07-18-2011, 11:26 AM

19.6 over 57K of mostly highway driving around 80mph.

FStop7 · 07-18-2011, 12:36 PM

At the track yesterday I was burning through 1/4 tank of gas for every 20 minute session (about 5 or 6 laps each).

GT3 Tim · 07-18-2011, 01:11 PM

13.8 overall....mixed driving. Some cruising, some spirited. Some freeway, some street.

rye m3 · 07-18-2011, 01:52 PM

So what's the capacity of the car? Manual says 16 gal INCLUDING a reserve. I've added 16 gal before! I figure the reserve MUST be in addition. Has anyone found out???

xsboost · 07-18-2011, 02:18 PM

Had the M3 for 3 weeks now, averaged 16.5mpg the first 2 weeks, now I'm averaging 19mpg, 50/50 city and hiway driving.

I think this is pretty good for the M3, I averaged 20MPG with the Corvette before the M3.

xsboost · 07-18-2011, 02:22 PM

I ran out of gas last week when my gas guage froze at the 1/3 mark, I pumped 58L at the pump and added 4/5L from a gas can.

xsboost · 07-18-2011, 02:24 PM

I made a mistake it was 8-10L from a gas can........so 58+10=68L max.

Grail05 · 07-18-2011, 02:51 PM

17.5 thats on a good day (meaning grandma driving)

15 on a ok day....

both FWY and street average 50-50%
