1.2 16v used to get 400 miles to a tank every time.

Giving it death everywhere, 400 miles to 45 litres.

It took me over three hours to do a 15 mile journey this morning so I presume mine will be bad

Because of the 6th gear, E46 M3's (no idea about E36) aren't bad on fuel when you're just cruising. According to the on board computer which adjusts all the time, dad would get better MPG at 80mph than 70mph

yeah thats the case with most cars, my astra would drink less at 75 than 50 in 5th.

Top Gear tested the toyota prius against the E46 M3 and the M3 was better on fuel
