What are you getting MPG?

Icy J · 08-19-2014, 10:43 PM

220i, between 3-5l/100km on the highway and overall average since getting the car 12-13l/100km

Ok maybe not true lugging but damn are the rpms low in 8th. Lol.

I have done some highway stints locking the car in 8th. Good results very low gas usage, perhaps lower than Eco pro drive. But the car really has no go which isn't incredibly safe IMO.

I do mixed driving...avg 11.2 l per 100 km

basiluf · 08-22-2014, 11:58 AM

My last two fillups, using manual calculations, were 22.4 mpg and 24.3 mpg. It's mainly 80/20 highway/city, so it's a little disappointing. I think the weather has a large part to due with the lower numbers, as my AC is blasting most of the time.

My average is 15 MPG with mostly city driving and 99.9% sport mode.
BTW, I didn't know Manhattan Bridge immigrated to Orlando

bman6074 · 09-03-2014, 07:49 PM

I finally went on a long trip. 389 miles worth. Her is a screen shot from Acar app. I use it to keep track of my car expenses and maintenance. It shows 376 miles driven and I had 10 miles left according to the cars computer.
I drove the whole trip in eco pro mode.
It was 90% highway

mileage calculation 376 miles / 12.678 gallons = 29.65 mpg
manual transmission
ignore the "Fuel Efficiency" as that is what I am getting as a whole of driving, now at 2400 miles 80% rural and 20% highway.

I found out a few things on this drive. If I needed to pass someone not getting out of the left lane, all I had to do was floor the gas and it was like I was in sport mode. Car jumped into action and took off. this was a nice surprise as I was worried I would have needed to switch to sport mode to make evasive maneuvers if needed.

I also noticed doing 75 or less eco pro seemed to gain extra mileage and showed blue. Over 75 it showed mostly gray and wouldn't gain extra mileage.

This is about as good as my old 135i. 25 more horse power and I still get the same mpg. Not bad.

phoenixbmwlife · 09-03-2014, 09:53 PM

Id have to add to this thread by saying the mileage in the M235i really sucks.
Even highway miles in Eco I am only getting 28-29MPG. Combined I'm getting 20MPG. Haven't driven city only so not sure how low that will be.

Oh well I still think my car is amazing and I didn't buy it for good gas mileage.

Bohemoth · 09-04-2014, 09:56 AM

I reset the trip and averaged 36mpg driving at 70mph in Eco-pro, 160 mile journey.

After some fun with the right foot its down to 28mpg. 36mpg is achievable! You just dont want to

yea if you stay under 75 you get way better mpg. once over 75 its not as good. I did achieve 29 mpg being over 75 when i could use cruise control on an open highway.

jbenington86 · 09-04-2014, 11:10 AM

I usually get great mileage on long highway journeys until I hit a section of the PA turnpike that's 3 lanes wide and has some ever so sweet and smooth curves though the Appalachians then I burn through all that saved fuel in about 5-10 minutes

That sucks...i average 20.5 mpg (60city/40highway) mostly in sports mode

M235guy · 09-17-2014, 10:38 PM

27.6 combined as of right now. On my latest fuel up it averaged 29.2 that's mostly highway commute with some sport mode on the drive home everyday and Sport on the weekends. I'll take that.

8AT I'm guessing? how many miles on your car?

bimmerbuff · 09-18-2014, 08:46 AM

On the highway, in Comfort I can get 40+. In Sport, around 30. Can barely break 25 in either mode in city driving. This is a 228i with 8AT and the numbers are from the onboard computer.

Sportstick · 09-18-2014, 08:51 AM

I haven't hit my first 1000 miles yet, so engine still a bit green. No long highway trips yet either, but around town, a mix of city streets and a bit of urban interstate running through, I am seeing about 29 on the trip computer. This is a 228i with Michelin PSS and 6MT, about 50% of the time in Sport and 50% in comfort (when wife joins me for the ride!).

This is really surprising to me. I always get much better mileage than what BMW says their cars should get. I guess I will find out here in about 3-4 weeks.

turnstile · 09-18-2014, 12:26 PM

Ive had my car (M235i) now just over two months and am getting 13-14.5mpg average. This is all city driving here in Los Angeles. 90% Comfort/10% Sport. All Eco systems engaged (auto start stop, HVAC, etc) when in Comfort mode.

As mentioned earlier in this thread I find this extremely disappointing. I really need to take the car into the dealer to find out why Im getting 1/3rd less mileage then the EPA estimates. I just can't image what could be wrong considering it runs like a top.

I did note that the 2015 M235i sticker now says 20 city / 30 highway EPA estimates VS. the 2014 one which stated 22 city / 32 highway. I find this odd.

I would recommend turning off the stop engine setting. Logically this just not appear to save gas if you are in stop and go traffic. History shows us it takes more gas to start the car then it does to idle. I am getting 21-22mpg in town driving (manual). I never use the stop/start feature. Also i got 29-30mpg on a 385 mile trip all in eco pro mode under 80mph. I found if you keep the car under 75mph (eco mode) you actually get even better gas mileage. The eco would be blue gaining more miles then gray using up what you have gained.

Still my 128i (6MT) is listed at 18/28 and I average 27.5 overall with my best tank getting 34mpg and the cruise control set at 80mph.

13-14.5 mpg average? Unless this is during bumper-2-bumper traffic, I also find this extremely disappointing. I would expect this from a e60 V10 M5, not an M235i.

Interesting find. Nothing was officially announced that could lower those estimates. The BMWUSA website still lists the 2015 M235i at 22/32 mpg AT.
