What mpg figures are you getting?

[sim5]

Hi,

just wondered what mpg figures you lucky drivers (I'm a waiter) are getting.

I'm guessing if you drive it hard around the 13/14mpg mark. Maybe 20mpg on average.

I average 18.9 since I purchased the car, on the highway you can get about 21-22 and if you push the car hard it drops to about 14-15. I haven't tracked the car, but obviously this would drop the mileage even further.

with close to 5k miles I get around 14 mpg city and 19 mpg hwy and around 16 mpg between both

I have about 8k on the car, and have been averaging around 13.2 mpg (according to the computer) as long as I can remember.

My car has 3000 miles. I reset one MPG counter every time i get gas, but the other has been on since delivery. The mpg over 3000 miles has been 14.1

I get about 12 in the city, and about 19 on the highway with cruise control set. This is much better than my 225HP suburban, which gets 13 no matter what, except towing race cars, in which case it gets about 6. My 911 is 19/28 but is not near as fast or heavy as the M5.

My OBC says 17.4 mpg average since the car was new. I have just over 11K miles.

Waiters must be making more money than I thought. You're buying an M5 with tips??

About 16.1, which includes city and highway driving

As the saying goes "Everything comes to he who waits" - this includes M5's

Now then, where did I put that menu .....

[JEM]

Average 16.1mpg around here, which is well down from the 19mpg avg we got in the 2000 miles we drove the car in Europe via Euro Delivery.

Can't even seem to get back to 17mpg with a lot of freeway driving.

Love that MTBE-laced gas.

I am averaging around 18 mpg with a larger mix of highway driving than city driving. I reset the OBC on my Spartanburg M5 Driving Experience car before we started the fun.. I got 6.9 mpg.

driven...Does it get better???

Same here. I get 14mpg or so combined highway and city. I get 18mpg or so on the highway.

I have 2800 miles on mine. It is getting about 15-16 mpg in town. Took it to Tallahassee two weeks ago and it got 22-23 mpg for pure highway mileage at about 70-75 mph. I don't think that is bad mileage for 400 hp.

The mileage was really terrible until I put about 1500 miles on it. I assume that everything loosens up and seats in during that first 2000 miles.
