Just like to do a survey out here to find out if the wheels configuration makes a big difference to fuel consumption. This is my configuration.

PC - 8.0 km/l
Model - 323i
Wheels config - 18" Non run-flat, staggered 225 front / 255 back
Fuel - VPower

Fuel - SPC 95 or 98 (robot cheapo)

Anyway, if your survey can take into account the rough % of highway/city driving, the result can be more representative. For example, my 7.5 km/l looks worse off than your 8.0 km/l, but the main reason may not be because of 19" vs 18" - it may be because of driving pattern. I said this because my FC is totally different when I drive 80%C 20% H versus 20% C 80% H.
But nevermind la, aga aga can already....
So HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!! HUAT AH!!

Good point. I think including avg speed travelled could help. So here it is in context:

E81 N52N 8.5km/l avg, 33.5 km/h avg, read off car info display. Caltex 98

For comparison
,
IS250, 10km/l avg, 30km/l avg, also read off car info display, Caltex 98.
