MPG

Quite surprised with my 23 sdrive mpg over the weekend. Managed 37.1 on a 250mile trip, Mostly motorway cruising at about 80-85mph with a few hold ups on the way but still surprised by what I managed to get.
 
I think it was a typo, actually meant kilometres an hour, approx 50-55 miles per hour in which case a little disappointing. :(
 
So I shouldn't say that I drove edinburgh to silverstone 366 miles away and got 40.3 mpg even with some 'spirited' driving. However I did have cruise on quite a lot of it.
 
Drove my Z4M in usual spirited way lots of smiles per miles :D and got
what I usually get 20.7 MPG :?
 
My 35iS is sitting at an average of 25mpg in the short time I have had it ... but that is actually better than I expected and I am happy with that element of ownership :)

Better than the 18-20 I was getting on the 370Z.

Does cruise help with mpg? I always thought that the braking function going downhill would help it much? I don't know why I am thinking of mpg all of a sudden......must be getting old!!

Good man :thumbsup:

Little more effort and you'll have it in the teens. :wink:

Single figures also perfectly achievable on Track. :D

I didn't buy a zed to worry about mpg figures either! It's nice to know that good mpg is possible even from 3.0 l engines ,even if it's only because you run low in the middle of nowhere!

As I said depreciation is the big killer £5k a year or more ?... Driven or not!
 
MPG isn't an issue with me because I only cover around 3000 miles per year, but I drove a 300 mile round trip last week on both motorway and country roads and averaged 37 mpg in my z4 3.0si coupe.
 
I've had mine all the way up to the dizzying heights of 47mpg, I was pretty impressed with it :D
However, put your foot down a bit and it soon plummets, i've had it down to 12mpg at one point :evil: :driving:
