a yeah, of cousre.

I sometimes have 15-20L in the city w a diesel but when I go on the freeway it is 6,8-8,2.

So depends on many things, sometimes I can use the manual mode so it is better consumption but if I go uphill -80% with the steptronic it is high, but I do not care it is only the computer I am sure that the avarage is less than that.

Ice, you took the words right out of my keyboard!!! Thats way too high for a 525. Maybe this is beacuse he's still in the initial stage of "running in" the engine?

It depends on when you 'reset' the reading. Initially, the reading could be high. For example, if you reset it while you start your car in the morning, it will go to like 24 or even 30 l/100km. As you start driving, it will drop...it could take a while before it drops back to normal. If you keep NOT resetting it for a while, the 'average' effect will make the morning start effect smaller, then you won't see the big difference during starting.

My 523i runs at 16.8L/100km. But I drive at 95% local traffic and I need to drag race and gun down those taxi drivers along the way.

Took my uncle's 545iA for a short ride.. From the gas station and home:

fuel consumption 17L/100km-dsc01118__medium_.jpg

OK - it's not that fair, because I didn't drive that many kilometers (as you can see) - but it was some fun kilometers - love the V8 sound
