How often do you fill up with gas?

Definitive · 04-18-2010, 04:58 PM

Ive had the car 6 days, driven 470 miles and filled up twice already including the full tank from the dealer. 3 tanks of gas in 6 days, what did I get myself into...

3/4 of a tank gets me roughly 200 miles. I didn't have to travel far, so I fill up every 2 & 1/2 to 3 weeks.

Nawaaz · 04-18-2010, 05:22 PM

I fill mine up once a week. When I approach my per diem for that week, I switch over to my scooter.....With my identity concealed.

Krozi · 04-18-2010, 05:36 PM

I hit the reserve so many times it's unreal

I fill up weekly..

J08M3 · 04-18-2010, 05:39 PM

doesn't help that the car only holds 16 gallons

You know they say riding a scooter is like fucking a fat chick, fun till your friends catch you doing it.

Jaime, I go about 230 miles before a fill uo.

cpiguy · 04-18-2010, 05:59 PM

Jam, I've been hitting just over 200 miles to a tank. I figure once you're broken in, you'll be lucky to get 150

bobbyd1961 · 04-18-2010, 06:09 PM

280 miles per tank. and i put in shell anytime i have a chance if not i settle for sunoco

edcvin · 04-18-2010, 06:20 PM

I use mobil and average around 200-225 miles per tank. I've heard that sunoco is the better gas, is that true? I've been tempted to try it but being that there are so few around I just stick to mobil because this car always needs gas.

once a month

Poppin Fresh · 04-18-2010, 06:39 PM

I fill her up once a week but if I do something on the weekend, I usually put half into what's left...so twice a week.

Mr.Bimmer · 04-18-2010, 06:47 PM

On board with everyone else here. About once a week, I'm lucky to get to 215 miles. Too many damn $53 charges on my CC, but oh well it's sure worth it

han405 · 04-18-2010, 06:51 PM

Just recently, I found on page 198 of the E9X M3 owner's manual (online edition) says BMW recommends BP fuels.

Lagunae92 · 04-18-2010, 06:52 PM

2-3 times a week, lots of highway miles

pruettfan · 04-18-2010, 07:06 PM

It depends on how many miles I drive. Duh

MrHarris · 04-18-2010, 07:18 PM

I get 250-270 a tank on average. Goes up to 300 if I travel to downtown LA a couple times.

Buschy · 04-18-2010, 07:20 PM

I fill up every two days.. oh wait you ment in the m. oh wait, that gets worse milage then my truck.

Georgeair · 04-18-2010, 08:03 PM

More frequently after the 1200 mile service than before!

cawest19 · 04-18-2010, 08:04 PM

Once a week...I get about 250mi per tank.

FStop7 · 04-18-2010, 08:08 PM

Once a week, typically. Used to be twice a week until I got a shorter commute.

tuco44 · 04-18-2010, 08:51 PM

I'm doing my bit to use up the world's fossel fuels......

Surely we all knew this car was a bit of a gas hog, but that's the ONLY negative there is. Otherwise, nirvana.
