Seriously???

I have an '04 545 and average 19.6 - 21 mpg in a 45 mile commute each way per day - mostly highway. I use a good mix of DS mode and D, and I dont baby her.

^Yup, seriously I have no idea why my mpg is so bad. Could it be that most of my driving is short during the week about 8 miles a day all city? The weekend is when I do any highway driving.

I guess that could be it - most of mine is hwy driving... I hate that I do almost 100 miles per day - ugh!

I know there has been some debate about the removal of the Charcoal Filter - but I did take mine off and feel a bit of difference in response and hp but also have seen a slight change for the better in gas mileage.

None for me and its been just over a week... I was surprised I didnt get any - it seems if I even think the wrong thing about my car she punishes me with an error msg!!! I just came back in after driving her and I will say there is definitely a noticeable difference.

i agree with triston in the uk the fuel rates dont help our high engined motors at all!!!

mines,

2003 545iA

Everything is expensive in the UK mate! I lived there for 10 years, but was FUN growing up there during the 80's pop scene.
