This is, I believe, the highest average fuel economy I’ve seen in my 335xi. I filled up my tank on Thursday night and made a 160 mile mostly interstate & 2-lane highway trip over the weekend. Not bad for ~400 hp*, AWD and ~3600 lbs. I’m sure it’ll only go downhill from here.

* Ballpark estimate of crank hp based on mods (intake, charge pipe, intercooler, downpipe & tune). Still need to get some dyno time.

And here I was, assuming you were referring to 55F at 5:30 in February.

It’s 73 at 6pm where I live. I’m afraid our winter is all but over.

Well that’s OK but it’s dark and rainy at the moment.

I don’t believe you*

*not because I think your lying but because my economy gauge is wildly innacurate.

I call bullshit! I want to see more logs and data. This has to be faked!

I average 19.5. +\- .5. No matter how hard I drive. Once, I almost got it to 20! I’ve never gotten below 19 in my stock E90 N55 335

That 19-20 is what I get with my usual mix of driving around town and like 4-5 miles each way on the highway on my commute. Cruising along in 6th doesn’t exactly use much fuel I guess.

I’m planning a few hour road trip to Austin soon. I may reset the fuel meter and see what I can do.
