Just drove from JHB to DBN. 335i manual. 7.7l, 124.5km/h average speed. Car has not been remapped or carbon cleaned. Mileage 74000kms. City runs I get between 10.9. - 12.5
Sitting in traffic kills my consumption I travel 3.5kms to work 45mins one way in traffic sometimes 380kms per tank..I get the consumption down on a weekend highway run to about 15L..whole week of traffic im up to 18s to 20s again.
Coming down to cost of fuel spent verses buying a cheapie diesel for work.
15-18l / 100 weekly which includes driving it like it should be.. :chef: Open road I have only done one trip to durbs, did not really bother to look at consumption, but I made 700 odd kms IIRC on a tank @ 130km/h GPS cruise control.

Phew thanks, I was worried I was really driving like a mad man. I get about the same, work is only 4km round trip, but I let the car warm up properly then the 5min drive to work. Weekends are just open road drives, but rather hard drives. I love pushing this car, it never gets boring!
Best i got down to DBN was 6.9l just after a carbon clean with just me in the car. the car was factory stock. With FBO i would go from 8.5l to 12l depending on how much eth I use and how heavy my foot was. With the big turbo the best i got was 8.9l but that goes up to 12.1l when i really start putting foot.
