Resist all temptation to nail it anywhere and try to be the last away from the lights instead of the first. My 325i is standing on 12. It is also a lesson on applying appropriate data transformations.

These are very useful when estimating your fuel costs and can help you predict your expenses easier on a future trip. Suspension, brakes and tyres For the better road holding, handling behaviour and ride confort in the chassis construction it has coil springs front suspension and coil springs rear suspension with discs brakes on the front axle and discs on the rear. I also get around 22-24mpg with my 330i auto around town.
. Each tool is carefully developed and rigorously tested, and our content is well-sourced, but despite our best effort it is possible they contain errors. It's slightly overdue an oil service, but the car is newish to me so I'm having Insp 2 done next week instead. You put two researches, one American and one French, to the task, with the first using kilometers per liter as an efficiency metric, while the second using liters per km. But who is right in the above example? Look forward to learning the resulting mpg! When was it last serviced? Do a tank's worth of usual fuel but 'drive like miss daisy'.
Emission category is Euro 4 on the Super Plus fuel type. But someone else who has had this car for some time could give you a better viewpoint on this. Perhaps just a half tank eh? Don't leave the car 'warming up' - drive it straight away blanket over the windscreen the night before! My 325i is standing on 12. I normally only put either R200-R300 petrol in, but will have to check how many km's I get, cause I never check, I just log it in the logbook. Different ways to calculate fuel economy Fuel efficiency, or fuel economy, can be a tricky concept. I think its probably just my driving style. Yes, fans with a viscous clutch should have some resistance.
Look forward to learning the resulting mpg! The French will see that for type A the average is 0. Nevetheless, when the novelty of the tuning has worn off, I will give your suggestion a go, although I can't promise to be a good boy for a whole tank of fuel. In my case it was: Vanos seals gone - replaced with Beisan vanos seals - fixed most of the power issues, but fuel consumption better, but not great - around 11 - 12 in heavy traffic. The French will get it right by multiplying 200 x 0. Cause that's when that louder fan is meant to go on. Through process of elimination above, I'm going to try replacing O2 Lambda sensors next.
I also get around 22-24mpg with my 330i auto around town. For type B both researchers will correctly estimate that 100 liters will be required for the same task. Does the fan sound increase with the revs? The two researchers would come to different conclusions as they are using different metrics! It has Insp 1 done 3 times in the last 30,000 miles car has done 130K altogether , so I don't think lack of servicing is the issue. If you interested in the vanos seal replacement, the exact procedure to follow and what parts are required are here: As I said, I did it myself, but I'm sure someone like Gizmo could probably do it for you. Thats poor mate, I'm getting around 22-24mpg around town and as much as 32-34 on a run. I've got a 2004 325ci, Manual.
I had very high fuel consumption when I first got the car, coupled with lack of torque, hesitations, bogging and surging, laggy throttle etc. In town driving, I'm only getting between 11 and 14 mpg. Mines a 4 door as well! So I'd suggest you start with the vanos which is a big one, only if you are experiencing any vanos failure symptoms on top of what you describe above. Try a test: try and isolate whether it is your driving style or whether there's something not right with the car first. Cause that's when that louder fan is meant to go on. My 325i is standing on 12.
So I'd suggest you start with the vanos which is a big one, only if you are experiencing any vanos failure symptoms on top of what you describe above. Is yours auto or manual? I don't race other cars or drive like a knob, but I'm almost always a fair way ahead of other vehicles when I look in my mirror after pulling away from traffic lights etc. Or is it just my driving style? Through process of elimination above, I'm going to try replacing O2 Lambda sensors next. Try a test: try and isolate whether it is your driving style or whether there's something not right with the car first. It follows that type A is more efficient than type B using this definition. If i'm very gentle i can see 20 mpg in town constantly. Do a tank's worth of usual fuel but 'drive like miss daisy'.
Don't leave the car 'warming up' - drive it straight away blanket over the windscreen the night before! The car example uses as basis one from Hand D. Could it be due to a fault with the car? If we give each car of type A a liter of fuel, they will cover 5 kilometers combined while giving each car of type B a liter of fuel, they will cover only 4 km combined. Most people would argue that when we calculate fuel efficiency we care about how much fuel we would need to cover a given distance. The arithmetic average is not invariant to monotonic transformations, so this is an issue when averaging performance of two or more vehicles, or when averaging the performance of a single vehicle in different situations, e. In my 540i i get between 16-18mpg in town, even when heavy footed the worst i've seen was 15 in town combined with a freezing cold startup. I do remember though when my dad had the 330 we did think it drank a little too much, even for a 3litre.
