Almost 8500 miles on my 328i 6MT, and I've always logged my fillups on fuelly:
http://www.fuelly.com/car/bmw/328i/2012/shesser/267998 I voted "exceeds expectations" because I've been able to get 34-37 mpg on the highway consistently without much effort while doing the same speed as usual (~10 mph over the limit to avoid trouble with the law). I drove from PA to Montreal in June and was able to plan on going over 500 miles (did 514, mostly with a/c) on a tank to avoid higher fuel cost up in Canada and northern NY. I think 550 miles is doable without breaking too much of a sweat. I don't do much "city" driving and I'd call my mix 20/80 city/hwy, so the worst I've seen is 25-26 around town. I toggle modes here and there, and leave it in Eco while cruising down the highway. |

Just picked up my 335xi. After a week of all city driving and only getting 3/4 through it's first tank of gas, I'm getting about 20.7 MPG. Average speed is 21MPH. Pretty fair.

In auto cross at the bmw ultimate drive the 228i got 7 mpg and that was running from 8 am to 4 pm basically nonstop.
So the 21 mpg in my 328 is perfectly acceptable in normal driving |

My 2014 335xi has about 4,500 miles on it now and so far I've been very pleased with the mileage. Driving from New York to Kansas this past summer, I was able to get just over 30 mpg. Driving around town and to work, I average between 19-20 mpg. I will mention that when I'm not on the highway/interstate, I'm just about always in sport or sport+....add in a heavy right foot and I'm happy to get the 20mpg.

After 3500 km in my 328d.
60% highway, 40% city I'm getting: 6.1 l/100 km 38.6 miles per gallon (US) I use eco pro on the highway only. Very happy with that! |

Honestly, I was hoping for more than what I'm getting. Maybe I just need a little more time. Have only had my F32 for about 3 weeks. 3 tanks thus far.
Coming from a Tundra as a daily driver, I was getting around 15.5 mpg. After putting some bigger wheels, that mpg went down to around 13.2. Enter my semi-brand new F32 hoping to get anywhere from 28 - 35mpg or so. First day was seeing 26 to 30. Of course, this was in Comfort mode. Keep in mind, during this time, I am pushing buttons everywhere trying to get familiar with the car. By day 3 or so, I am now familiar with Comfort and Sport mode and going back and forth between them while driving to work in stop n go traffic (traffic lights). I end the week at about 21mpg. Start week 2 and decide to do freeway driving to work. Again, I do combination Comfort/Sport modes. End the week at about 25mpg. In week 3 now and went back to stop n go traffic light route (shorter commute) since I didn't see much mpg improvement on freeway (which is longer commute) to justify the toll road expense. Thus far this week, am at about 23mpg. Meet expectations? Well, would have liked a little more. But, a heck of a lot better than 13mpg. Does going from 13mpg to 23mpg justify an rather large added car payment? No. But, momma is happy with a shiny Bimmer on the driveway. Happy momma = no worries. :-) |
