Car Forum / BMW Cars / April 2004Fuel consumption of 2004 525i
Do you think it is normal than on a brand new BMW 525i petrol (not diesel) with a full tank you can only make 200 kilometers?? Thank you! > Do you think it is normal than on a brand new BMW 525i petrol (not > diesel) with a full tank you can only make 200 kilometers?? Thank you! 8 mpg UK? No. Do you stop the engine when you park up overnight?  Signature*I'm planning to be spontaneous tomorrow * Dave Plowman dave.sound@argonet.co.uk London SW 12 RIP Acorn My 1992 525i (E34 Model) averages 29MPG(UK) / 24MPG(US) So I think yours is rather poorly and in need of diagnostic analysis. > > Do you think it is normal than on a brand new BMW 525i petrol (not > > diesel) with a full tank you can only make 200 kilometers?? Thank you! > > 8 mpg UK? No. Do you stop the engine when you park up overnight? I've been getting 20 mpg around town and 31 Hwy. in my 545i. I told the dealer about it and they were impressed as well! Happy Motoring! DrB > I've been getting 20 mpg around town and 31 Hwy. in my 545i.

Any advice or tips? 9.3l/100km on average, 70% motorway, 30% city traffic. 2004 530d > > I've been getting 20 mpg around town and 31 Hwy. in my 545i.

I have a 730i se 1990 and get around 21.4 mpg constant !!! on a run I get around 26 mpg, so I feel quite happy now after reading this post :-) >9.3l/100km on average, 70% motorway, 30% city traffic. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> >> How do you do your driving?

Many of the mpg's reported are in US gallons. -Fred W Break in period over?? My mpg went up a good 5 mpg. after the break-in of 7 or 8000mi. My '94 325i gives me a consistant 25mpg (US) at freeway speeds that consistantly nudge the 90mph mark. My routine cruising speed on the freeways of California is 85 mph, and my computer tells me the Consumption rate is 25 mpg. (US gallons) I could press a button for you to give you the KM/100L number, but you shold be able to do the math. My guess is that you are having some kind of problem. > Do you think it is normal than on a brand new BMW 525i petrol (not > diesel) with a full tank you can only make 200 kilometers?? Thank you! |
