My Ride: Black Sapphire BMW 530i w/ AC Schnitzer kit. Beige leather interior and fine-wood trim.
Unhappy

I'm getting 26-28mpg (50/50 Hwy/City) and about 430miles per tank. 16,200mi on 04 530i. Also, in order to save money at the pump (and as a test) I've been rotating between Reg 87min octane and Midgrade 89min octane. No noticeable difference in mileage. Why should I use the expensive stuff 91min octane?

Read past post on the subject of octane ratings,you will see that if you keep on with 87 and 89 octane it will take its toll on the engine.(you might have to change you handel from wiseman to something else) only joking.
cheers

My average used to be 23.5mpg until I had a software upgrade to v18.1 a few weeks ago and now I am averaging 20.4 mpg.
