I'm guessing about 23.5mpg. Slow it down to the speed limit and you'll see better numbers.

 

I've gotten over 30mpg in my car before....

 

through 1900 miles i am at 18.5 mpg, probably 60% of my miles are highway, the other 40 are "city" if you even want to call it that, mostly nj suburb driving.."spirited driving" 90% of the time

 

I do a kind of hypermiling driving and I can get 35-45 mpg on road trips. I did it when I got the car on the way back from ATL and did REALLY well.

 

My first week driving to work (44 miles R/T) I was averaging about 15-18 mpg. I've since utilized cruise control more than I should/want and have averaged about 26 mpg. It really does make a difference.

The only downside however is that you can't truly enjoy the car since you're at a constant speed most of the time, which ROYALLY sux. The moment you punch on the accelerator, the mpg dips below 15..closer to 10 mpg...damn!

 

That's nothing to brag about.. With fuel efficient cars, you can drive like shlt, and there is no need to drift behind a truck to get good mileage.

 

^^^ I think he's talking about getting 35mpg in his G (that's certainly something to brag about)... if not, then why are we talking about another car in a G37 forum?

 

Yeah, I get around 18mpg doing 90/10 city/highway driving now... was doing way worse when my car was new in the winter time. I wouldn't be surprised if you get 22mpg+ cruising on the highway.

 

yeah but look at all the trouble he's going thru just to get it? While under normal everyday driving condition, you get about 17-19mpg.

lets talk about real world numbers, not about 1 night someone decided to hit the empty highway on cruise control to see how much MPG you can get.

 

I agree with you, but some people have long commutes to/from work and being a little more "disciplined" goes a long way to saving a few hundred dollars over the course of a year; then they can use the money to buy a jwt pop charger! lol

 

I am still on the G37 Journey loaner until my S comes in. Lets just say I am testing the capabilities of the car. The computer told me I was getting 11 mpg but when I put in gas and did the math, it showed I was getting 15.5 mpg. The car had 30 miles on the odometer when I picked it up so that seems to be in range for the first tank and testing it out.

It is showing that I am getting closer to 20mpg now on my 2nd tank as I have reverted to more everyday driving with a combo of city and highway (mostly city).

my friends G gets 11-13 mpg lols... he pushes it PRETTY damn hard. on avg he gets around 16-18 mpg. i get 23 avg.

 

Look another Bimmer owner trying to feel good about himself.

 

I got 28.5 MPG on a 3 hour 200 mile trip with crusie control on. I was pleased and surprised by that, and that was with me having a little bit of fun!!

 

How many tanks does it take before the fuel economy generally improves? I have seen a lot of posts saying it takes a little while for the computer to learn.

Also, my car is now in the state and they hope to have to me on Wednesday or Thursday at the latest so I can turn in the loaner! I am going to keep track of the actual gas mileage and what the computer tells me during the first three tanks just to have baseline for others to compare.
