Fuel economy question
Discussion
They were never great, but thats really bad! Had a 735i (the 6 one) for a few weeks as a loan for my knackered company car (the bosses) and that drank like a fish.... but the onboard computer said 20-22MPG and I drove like a vicar!!! Well, it was the bosses and he would have fired my sorry arse if I had pranged it..... £100 to fill up if I remember rightly.... and that was years ago.... blimey...
£100 isnt far off to fill her up...last time I was flush enough to fill her up full, she took I think £78 on top of a couple of gallon already in the tank!
Yeah Im thinking that 17.8mpg sucks as Im sure someone on PH has a V12 that does 19 and someone else has a V8 american jobby thats clocking 20

Old E34 540i with a chip. The computer reckons around the 20 mark, mostly commuting journeys with some fast stuff, some endless queues of traffic. [Edit in the light of the next post: it's an automatic...]
Trouble is, it's using more fuel than that - there's a hole in the tank!
