mixed drive hwy/local
Well, that kinda depends on how much of each, doesn't it? And everyone will have a different combination.
I get 300 all city and 500 all highway. I've got gears and a blower.

I'm getting 400 - 420 km with 70% city and 30% hwy. I use only 94 octane from Cheveron.

I know what you guys are thinking.... I DO NOT DRIVE LIKE A GRANDMA!

What's your shift point when city drivng? When I'm just keeping up with traffic, I usually shift at 3500rpm.

I am going to be installing 4.44 gears when my car comes out of hiberating so I guess my numbers will be changing.

Chevron 94

Mileage on a fillup:

- on the track: < 200km
- city 90/10: ~350km
- all highway or all city: never tried

In the city, fuel mileage is not as bad as my heavy '92 325i. But on the highway, the 325i even though geared is still much better on fuel.

Again, thx guys. But 2 more question, is there something special about the chevron ? Seems to me that everyone is going to the chevron , is their anything special about their fuel that i am not aware of ? also is there any gas station that you guys don't recommend?

thx
