Angry I HATE GAS, wish I could run on veggie oil.



over $50 filling up the M.. and I think I get around 235miles / tank. Crap, it could be 265.. I forgot..


Anyone found a way to squeeze some more MPGs?


Take the poll, I'm curious what other M3s are getting as far as mileage per tank.

If you have mods, mention it.

If it looked as sweet as yours, I wouldn't mind...

Damn it, the Bimmerforum heads are saying they pop 300 easy...

I think I need a tune up.


Any quick ideas on how what might affect it? Spark Plugs, etc?

My 95 M3 gets allright gas mileage, but I don't drive like a normal person so I usually get low mileage because of that. I had to drive 440 miles and with a full tank of gas from the start (somewhere around 15 gallons, not sure though) I only had to add another 5-6 gallons to reach my destination. That was with 89 octane at 100mph average

Lets see if I can do this right. If it took 20-22 gallons to get 440 miles,
440/22=20mpg so
20x15(15 being the tank capacity)=300 miles to a tank of gas,
is that right??
