If my calculations are correct about 480 miles out of a 70litre tank is about 35mpg......what calculation do you use for your above statement out of interest?
70 litres = 15.398 gallons
550 miles thus = 35.7 MPG

1 UK Gallon = 4.54609 litres ( US gallons are smaller)
70 litres = 15.398 gallons
550 miles thus = 35.7 MPG
70 litres = 15.398 gallons
550 miles thus = 35.7 MPG
I stand corrected - Thanks for that.
I suppose it could be said that the quoted 550 miles is not a complete 70litres as no one empties a complete tank.....so a further say 20miles might be possible out of what is left bringing it up to near 37mpg - just a thought?

Ok, my 545i is better (really astonishing, considered it is petrol V8) :
01092007156.doc
(pls change extension from .doc to .mp4)
That consumption was reset 50 kms before .
(the road was plain)
A comment by Andy pls

ey all, sorry mis info there, on this particular occassion the consumtion was less, but usually if n a motorway like today, 580 was a posssibility, will get some pics up shortly, watch this
Thread.
On regular tank around town, without using the full 285bhp, i tend to get around 480 to 500ish, on motorways like the M1 today, traffic free, the needle was on 50mpg and crusing between 70-85 no problem
5 passengers and luggage.
will get some pics up shortly

not much to say Alex, I'd rather see videos showing the fuel consumption indicator on the other side of the arc...

I go to Como lake, with 50 km highway and some other little roads for 20 km . In the evening, back to home, the CdB shows 10.9 kml, that is unbelievable for a V8 petrol with 4 people on board

Last week I did a 30 mile motorway journey at around 70 mph.
Then stopped and filled up.
Range indicator showed 634 miles !!
All I needed to do was drive 634 miles on a flat empty motorway at 70mph to get his fabulous result from a tank of fuel.
Then stopped and filled up.

some confusement here, as i can see, the objective is of this thread was that in normal driving, or even on a motorway, this car returns fantastic mpg, in the region of 550 to 580 miles in a full tank of aproximately 70 litres.
Thats because of my ecu has been remapped. Without the remap i remember driving reall conservatively and managing in the mid 400s only.
As mentioned earlier i have another pic that i couldnt put last time, as i was at home, at work now with bluetooth connection on computer.
Take a look.
