Whats the best mpg you've obtained with FI?

Post by Nebraska_e28 »

What is the best mpg you were able to get with your boosted setup?

I've seen 24mpg in my stock m30 powered e23 with an auto & .293 diff

Please list:

mpg
engine
vehicle
gear ratio
auto or manual

I got 27 in my 745i stock with the auto and the 2.93 coming back from Oregon.

I have never calculated it in the B7 Turbo since I never totally fill the tank to avoid filling the one in the trunk.

All of my 293 diff m30 turbos manual trans would get 26mpg.

The LS 5.3 turbo with a 346 diff achieved 27mpg on trips to Va Beach and Toronto last year.

16-17mpg
b35
e30
2.93
manual

Driving it like a proper fun turbo car must get like 10mpg
but just daily driving to work out of curiously to see what a normal mpg looks like it's about 16mpg
which is still pretty darn good. No freeway driving.


btw I know you're not asking but sorta nice to know that my turbo m20 got about the same MPG as the N/A m30.
