Yes, the engine is dying. It even uses 1l of oil for every 500 miles.
Still can't help occasionally trashing it though!

BMW 318ci 2002

Only got this a few weeks ago.
My first tank I estimated about 22MPG.

I tried my next tank with a much lighter foot and only managed 27MPG.
It's breaking my heart filling up so often.

Anyone else have a 318ci?

No shenanigans at all! I fill up to the brim and do about 800 miles before i refill to the brim. I use an exceptionally light foot and a scangauge to give me constant feedback about what the engine is doing. For example, when i go downhill the engine will cut the injectors. When the hill starts levelling out i reapply the juice pedal but as lightly as i can. This helps keep consumption down. Also when going uphill it helps to see what the load is and adjust pedal pressure accordingly. I use a block heater in the winter and usually keep using
it up till late spring. I'll start using it again in autumn. On top of all this i use a grille block to speed up the warmup. It also means my top speed is limited to 120kph for short periods but to do that would waste a load of diesel anyway due to aero drag. Most of my driving is on 80kph back roads anyway so i'm up to the speed limit most of the time.
When i go into an urban area i lift off the accelerator when coming up to a red light. I brake at the end to stop. This cuts fuel too as the engine uses DFCO or Deceleration Fuel Cut Off. It also saves my brakes and tires.
And the beauty of all this is that i am driving at more or less the same speed as everybody else! Yay!

Wow that really sounds an awful awful way to drive.

2006 Golf GTi - about 550km per tank giving ~30 mpg. Mix of hard driving and some motorway miles.

1.4 Honda Civic Saloon, to and from work (5 minutes down the road), and a few trips to Dublin city centre...
31.82 MPG
This good or bad?

I'm in the exact same situation - 5 minutes commute, down to the shopping centre at the weekend which is also 5 minutes away, occasional trip to the city centre - and I get 31.4 MPG (measured regularly) from a 05 1.8 petrol Mondeo. And I thought mine was bad.
On a side note: my trip comp always shows less MPG than the brim-to-brim measurement gives.

2009 Citroen C5 1.6HDi pulls around 5.0l/100km which translates to about 56MPG. This consists of about 85% cruising and the rest is urban in Dublin rush hour. I do about 1,000km per week.

42 @ the moment. Hyundai Sonata Crdi. Had it up at 48 when i was doing about 1500 km 80% motorway driving a week a few months ago. Hard to keep it high mostly town driving now.

vectra

98% stop start driving around town.

over 600 Km per €40

Approx 375 Miles

= 9.375miles to €1

How much is diesel now?
Approx €5.60 per gallon X 9.375 = 52.5 Miles to the gallon..

Anyone want to work that out if I got it wrong ?

I get 40 mpg average driving with a 07 mazda6 1.8 petrol.

I can't understand how people think they can compare their cars by saying they get eg. 600 km from €40 as petrol is not the same price every where. The only way to compare cars is mpg or the metric equivalent.

Maybe because we go to the same pump all the time and prices of diesel hasnt really changed all that much recently

Just learn how to figure mpg to get a real comparison. If you have any trouble I'll help you;)

I'm confused. By my calulations there's only a roughly 22 litre(~5 gallon) tank on your car then. Seems small. Unless you mean you did 400 miles not km?
