What is your fuel consumption and wheels configuration?

Re: What is your fuel consumption and wheels configuration?

Huat ah! Very true. Mine mostly on highway 20C/80H.

PC - 7.5 km/l
Model - 325i
Wheels config - 19" Non run-flat, staggered 225 front / 265 back
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!!

din realise the 125 consumption is so high. from what is displayed so far, seems even more than 335

Ya, am actually surpirsed at the FC some 335 bros are getting. I think it must be the route....those with average speed below 30km/hr are likely to be driving mostly in start-stop traffic - and it doesn't help if they are like Banana and me, still like to chiong !

Possibly. Or maybe it's just a case of a heavy foot

Re: What is your fuel consumption and wheels configuration?

Heavy foot by itself may not increase FC significantly, as u will tend to up shift faster as compared to driving in the lower gear for longer. jawzsg say one
In start-stop traffic, heavy or light foot, or metal foot, FC also bad.
So conclusion is, cheong is good for ur car, ur pocket and ur mental satisfaction:chinese:

Anyone interested in chionging north? Guaranteed to increase your avg speed by 20 km/h at least. Need to unleash it once in a while else it'll get fat and lazy. As it is, it already has a belly.:laughlik:

Try resetting ur avg spped. Esp after repair or servicing with pml, ur avg speed will become very low... Think they idle for toooooooo long..


Mine
fc: ~9.5km/l
avg speed: ~38km/l.
95 oct and 98 oct fuel.
E90 320i
