1992 525i Touring MPG
Hi everyone. I noticed some recent posts about MPG and I am getting about
18.5 MPG city driving, thats with the A/C on a good deal of the time now since summer is here. Highway driving is better of course. The touring wagon is an auto with a recently rebuilt transmission, however it did sit for about year before I got it. It idles and runs smoothly, but I am wondering if I did a tuneup and replace the O2 sensor if I might get better gas mileage...it does have 154k on the odometer. I was wondering what gas mileage other touring wagon owners were seeing. Thanks! - Scott |

Change the air filter and plugs if you feel like it, but 18+mpg is not too bad at all for city mileage. JB |

'City' driving depends entirely on the traffic level, and therefore the number of start stops and idling in traffic jams where it's less than 0 mpg. So impossible to say. But I'd be happy with 20 mpg UK as an average in London. I get nearer 15. ;-) It's easier to check highway mileage where the traffic flow is constant. -- *Some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
