Max Mileage out of a tank and mpg?

[Dr _Rod]

Hi

Got a Z4 05 2.2i plate, just taken a new job and going to be doing round 25000 miles
So far I get 30 /31 mile to gallon (Uk) but that is in relation to old position which is mainly urban/town driving.

What the max any body got out of a tank mine - 335miles and best mpg 32.10 - 47 litres

I like my car and i do not want to sell it !!!

Many Thanks

+1. If you're driving that much, get a cheapo diesel family car.

Try getting it serviced or get a manual... I get around 325 out of a tank before the 'Feed Me!' light comes on even if you rag it a fair bit of the time...

I can't give you the range but I've had a ownership average of about 36mpg in mixed driving with not too much town stuff. I'm sure it would do better but that's not why I bought it really.

I've run a diesel for the daily commute unless it's sunny as I can’t even remember the journey some days it's so boring leaving the Zed for blowing out the cobwebs

Most ever driving like an angel was inexcess of 400 miles and playing petrol roulette.
Light usually comes on around 325-350.

No longer have car, notice sig!!

Car serviced several times, no notable difference, even cleaned the MAF. 3.0i with the auto box is not the most economical. :wink:

During a 6 hour trip one day this week, with mixed city/highway driving, using cruise some of the time and getting on it some of the time, top up, I made it 355 miles before the low fuel light came on. I drove it another 10 miles until fill up, and had an OBC estimated 22 miles remaining (387 miles est. per tank).

Up until this week (I start a new job Monday) I have been doing a 100 mile round trip to work 4 days a week (some times 5) and can manage just over 400 miles to the tank. Average was 350. I thought about getting a cheep diesel but decided against it.
My car managed 20.000 miles between services and its booked in for a oil service a coopers tunbridge next week which cost £150 which I thought was very reasonable.
