R60 Real World Fuel Consumption / MPG
#51
#56
According to the records that I have been keeping (my calculations, not the OBC), my first couple of weeks with the CM gave me around 20-21 mpg, and at it has increased since. At my last fill I was at 1850miles and I got 26.6mpg with a distance of 282 miles. I hope that it increases to closer to 30mpg and over 300 miles per tank, but like miniblue2 said, it is what it is.
My CM us used for mostly city driving (70%). I drive pretty mildly unless I am on a longer highway trip.

36.02 on the last tank...
back roads and 65 mph highway travel
this was me "feather footing" it to assess overall health
there is one heck of a difference in mileage between 65, and 70+ I find... if I use more than 3,200 rpm the mileage drops to low thirties, and if I use 4-5k rpm then I expect high twenties...
I do appreciate a car that can sip gas while driving up to NH for an autocross, and yet deliver excellent performance on course - a most useful dual personality!
cheers,
Charlie
Ps: Oh mercy! I just realized the context of this thread - my bad... an MCS data point is hardly relevant...

Wow...huge difference in reading these from Automatic tranny to Manual tranny.
I'm at 1200 miles and am averaging 25.3mpg's checking it on my own. I see the owner's manual indicated 'tank is full when two clicks after initial click off occurs' (or something along those lines). I've tried to follow that consistently.
I'm not driving it hard, and pop it into Sport once in a while.
Would be interesting for people to list in this order:
1. overall miles on car
2. average mpg
3. auto or manual
4. 17's or 18's wheels
When I had my 2002 Jetta TDI I threw on a 17" wheel package my mpg dropped nearly 3-5 mpg's per tank at that time. I'm curious as to the weight of the wheels we are all running (and am anxious to see if come winter with 17's wheels and snow tires if I actually get better mpg).
Overall to date, I'm pretty bummed about the mileage. I'm still not getting what my 2009 wrx would accomplish with its manual tranny. But the fun and feature factor?
