The other thread about mpg's made me wonder what the diesels are getting out there to a tank...

My car has just under 100km's to it...and the computer shows 10.4/100km's...it dropped from 14 at 7 km's this morning!!

EDIT -> With 150km's it's dropped to 9.7 already...boy I am loving this car..

How many km's on your clock?
What's your fuel consumption?
What % sulphur diesel are you using?
(And if you live in South Africa, where are you filling up and how much per litre?)

cool!

Dude......I'm lost.....how do you convert kilometer to miles?

[fredtoo]

For a rough approximation, divide by 8 and multiply by 5.

Hello,

Mine got aprox. 13.000km on it with a fuel consumption of 5.4/100Km.
And i don't drive like an old man

[Robin_NL]

My former 120d(same engine) did 7 litres on 100kms.

And I drove it like I stole it

[thebigman]

I have 1,700 miles on the clock and my fuel consumption is:-

Average 42mpg or 5.6 liters/100Km using BP Ultimate Diesel (I find the engine picks up much better on lower revs with this fuel)

@ £0.97 (GBP) per liter or $1.70 (USD)

@ £3.88 (GBP) per gallon (US) or $6.80 (USD)

Which works out at £58 (GBP) to fill the tank or $101 (USD)

Bearing in mind if you run the petrol engine your fuel costs go up around 50% I hope that makes some of you guys in the states eyes water!

[medicus]

I do mostly short distances and country roads and am averaging 35.5 miles per gallon. I've done 1270 miles so far in 7 weeks (not a lot I know).

[MPowerE90]

6.7/100km for 2500 km

When we picked up our E90 320d the computer gave 11l/100km

[matysiak]

I have a 320d, it has 4800 km's on it with an average of 6.1 litres per 100km.

Only use sasol turbo diesel.

[Barrie]

I have a 318d with about 300 miles on the clock. Currently doing mostly town driving but the mg display is still showing 44mpg (UK) (4.4l/100km).


By the way, you guys do know that UK mpg is not the same as US mpg....1 mpg (UK) = 0.83mpg (US).

Yeah..it's always relative. US is a large country, and we do not have a well developed public transportation system. Unlike the UK and Europe, we do not overly taxed fuel as a method of steering the public to use mass transportation.

[stressdoc]

In hindsight, Al Gore's suggested 50 cent/gallon tax looks like it would have been an extraordinary bargain.

Here is a conversion table from litres/100km to US mpg.

Litres Per 100k Miles Per Gallon (U.S.)
1.00 235.18
5.00 47.04
9.00 26.13
13.00 18.09
17.00 13.83

[luckystrike]

wow mine is 8L/100 km i have 400 km on it , i think i should change my driving habbit

[rebelfocus]

After 5,300kms, I seem to be getting 9.1l/100kms consistently for the last few thousand. I do mostly city driving with lots of hills and many short runs so I'm not surprised.

On another note, now that I have >5000kms the service indicator is still saying I have 30,000kms more to the 1st oil change. Still waiting for it to start counting down...

[London320d]

320dSE, After 4600miles, and running on BP Ultimate.
London driving only - reasonably briskly but not going mad, 34mpg (8.3L/100km)
Motorway driving only - (70mph constant, driving for economy) 53mpg (5.4L/100km), Driving briskly/ in motorway traffic maybe 47mpg.

(Tony - My service indcator is now down to 17000 mi from 19000 mi initially.)

[homerfromathens]

here is a site where you get informed about fuel consumption in general and where you can track your consumption.
a lot of germans do it and its very interesting.

here is the page of the e90 diesels:

[turk]

3.20 d at 2880 kilometers with consumption of 7,9 liter/100km in city traffic.Especially filling with Bp Ultimate or total excellium

[Masheen]

Mine has been down in 5,5 mpg
