to make it more informative than just another what's your mpg's thread? Just my .02

Thanks for all the responses. Looks like I'm about where I should be. I've only gone through two tanks so far. The first tank I did not calculate but estimated around 27 overall with a 25/75 city/hwy mix. The last tank I did calculate and came out to 26 but I was showing the car off to friends and family and driving aggressively a few times.

The SD mode on the step was a real eye opener as I once almost hit red line. I was trying not to show my concern but it kind of freaked me out because I thought either I was not working it right or something was wrong.

Once I get this car tweaked in I'm hoping to see an increase in MPG to probably average in the 28 range. That's my goal.

Oh btw, how accurate is that range computer thing? I got it down to 60 miles yesterday and the gas light came on. I wanted to drive to my favorite gas station 20 miles away but decided not to risk it.

Accurate to the last mile. I ran mine down to 1 mi left in October, was 0.5 away from the station. I put in 62.35L in the 62.5L tank. It's bad for the fuel pump to go under 3/4-1/2 though - don't make this a habit.

Good call. Did mine.

See, this is the thing I've wondered about. I mean, is it kosher to discuss BMW and hypermiling?

No, IT IS NOT! But we allow Kevin to do it anyway. lol

Hehe, it's as John said. There's a link in my sig to my monumental hypermiling thread if you care to take a gander!

Averaging 23 mpg; usually see 20ish city, 25 highway. I remember being able to get right around 30 on the highway, but haven't seen that high in a while . . . might be time to finally replace my fuel filter.

Gas: Shell vPower 91 (I miss the Midwest's 93 . . . )
Driving style: fairly aggressive on the go pedal, especially now with my SB! I do set my cruise almost any time I'm holding a speed for more than a few minutes, though, even in-town.
Mileage: 100,7xx mi
Oil: BMW High Performance Synthetic 5W-30
Weather / roads: Las Vegas dry wx, fairly decent roads. 90% of my driving is highway to & from work; slightly uphill to work, slightly downhill from.

City - between 20-23 depending on how many and how frequent the stops are.

Highway - between 28-32 entirely depending on how many hills and what kind of traffic there is.

Average - around 26-27 mpg for the 200 fill-ups I did track. After that, I had my nice average number and stopped tracking after that.

Record high for me is 36 indicated, 35.6 actual, over the course of precisely 100 miles.

I usually get 26-28 on the highway going 79. I'm averaging about 24-24 mixed. Right now I'm getting 21 mostly city.
