The computer shows you how many miles you can travel on what's left in the tank based on your CURRENT driving style!

I got about 360 miles before I went to fill up. The low fuel lamp JUST popped on at that point.

City driving I get around 420-450 kms a tank and highway driving I get around 640ish on a full tank.

thanks, diesels are well known to have a healthy range - but the OP is looking for feedback regarding the N62 engine.

The 300 range seems about right with my mix of highway and local roads...

I end up getting to about about 280 miles and then filling it with about 15 gallons...18.6mpg but its been getting better....

550 in a diesel is probably about right...could do that in V8 petrol if it was all downhill...

1220, no way 1000 would be believable

That's just over 30mpg not possible in a 530d? I've no idea! Last diesel I had in the UK would give me in the high 30s for mpgs...and that was old..

I don't know how you put it there in english....

but i'll try to explain the best as i can...

As i drive long distances.... Reykjavik - Keflav?k that's 43km... almost straight road, with almost no elevations....

there i'm going as low as 3,9 l/100km and as high as 4,6 l/100km...

average is 4,2 l/100km calculated after topping up fuel in Reykjav?k, driving the 43km and then topping up again in Keflav?k...

Inside town, it has been as low as 7,8 and highest is around 8,4.... but... that's with my GF at the wheel... normal driving...

it's always around 9,4-10,1 when i drive...

Dyno said 323hp... and the response is at a very good level.... only downfall is the smoke cloud that appears when you get on it...

but i find it a good revenge to put black smoke on some of those road raging assholes in traffic

Smoke cloud? Is that from a d? I don't get that or is it something to do with engine sizes?
