Default What's your ti's fuel economy?

E36:er's,

Thought I could start a fuel economy thread. There are threads about this but this is what I thought we could do here. Please, just list the year of your ti, current mileage and odometer reading after the gas tank light comes on. The 318ti fuel tank will hold 52 liters (13.7 US gallons) including 8 liters (2.11 US gallons) in the reserve tank. This comes to 44 liters (11.6 US gallons). Please, do not post mpg stated in online reviews/other forums. Post your true "old school" reading: fill up your tank, reset odometer and when the gas tank light comes on...post your odometer reading.

If you are only doing highway, city or a combination, please state so.

A decent 318ti should make around 28-32 mpg. But this is not what I get. Anyways, here it goes:

Model: 318ti M-Sport
Year: '98
Transmission: Automatic
Tyres: Dunlop Winter Sport M3 225/50ZR16
Mileage: 162 000 km
Odometer Reading (on a full tank until gas tank light came on): 430km (267 miles)
Fuel used: Shell, Regular unleaded
Highway km only

My results translates into;
430 km/44 L = 9.77km/L
267 miles/11.6 gallons = 23.0 mpg

What's your reading?
