    Hey JHMEG, that's pretty serious fuel economy, I imagine the Civic 1.3 IMA is fun to drive too?

    E60 M5 - trip computer currently says 16.4mpg. Mostly urban driving, with some longer motorway trips. I wouldn't exactly be minding the economy on the motorway trips either. I reset the computer during urban driving recently and it was only hitting 10mpg.

    I knew it was bad overall, but I've taken some comfort from this thread, especially considering that I could be in a 1.8 rover and getting only marginally better figures!

    Its something when an M3 is compared to my rover in terms of MPG!

    Ive checked in the owners manual, and the listed MPG for mine is 30 MPG.. its not far off that (about 28 MPG currently) so im happier than earlier on thread!

    What type of usage is that jimbling?


    Majority of it is short trips. And I do have a heavy foot.
    Actually just checked it again there and it has gone up to 19MPG. Mainly due to a few long trips in the last while.

    Just my observations. Why do you ask? I think the official figure is somewhere around the 30(ish) mark.
