One year/22K Miles Accurate Gas Stats with Graphs
* My car is one year old today.
* Average 60 miles/day of 85% Hwy and 15% light suburban traffic * Every single drop of gas was recorded on this app (even the first one from the dealer) * It's funny I keep on recording since I pay little to no attention to gas prices (can't have a high revving V8 and let gas price spoil your enjoyment) I donno why I kept doing it but I may be OCD. * First 5-6 months I was driving mainly on D setting then for the past 6 months strictly S3-5. * Note how much gas I filled on July 7th when the car was saying 0 miles left. I though this may be helpful to those who haven't gotten their M3 yet. * The 2 partial fills in July and August are the only 2 from a gas station other than Shell, all others are full tank from Shell.

I did the same thing for my Z4MC using excel. And now I'm doing it for M3 as well. This app looks cool though, I will try it.

On D setting and mostly hwy driving, sure 18 is plausible but for the past few months I've been on S4 and beating the car (shifting no less than 5K once warmed) now if I get 16 its a surprise.

I wouldn't be surprised to see 20 MPG regularly if you did this. |

I do the same thing and I'm not OCD...maybe
Averaging 19.1mpg on a 75% highway/25% city commute along with lots of other driving over the first 18,000 miles on the car. Sees >8000rpm on a daily basis. It's a 6-speed if anybody cares. I regularly average 20-ish mpg for a tank

She is my DD but not the only car I own. I just can't get myself to drive the other car (put only 1000 miles on it last year). I figured, what am I gonna save the M for? Better enjoy it.

Isn't it addictive though. Every time I fill I ask myself why the heck am I keeping up with recording? Can't answer. And now that I made it for one year of diligent data entering I thought that's good enough but I'll be moving to Dallas area soon and maybe it's a good idea to keep on for one year in Dallas for comparison. See, always a reason to do it!!

I'm going to post mine up, I use RoadTrip for the iPhone.... Used it since day 1, I am just over 10k miles --- It will be interesting because I have a 6MT, and average 15-16mpg.
