how many miles on a tank of gas

[rocky]

hi gang..... new member here...... i ordered M5 and wont get her until mid december.....but was wondering on A 21 gallon tank of gas, how many miles can i expect to get with moderate driving habits with 50/50 driving highway/city? thanks

Not sure, but not many. you could get around 14-15 mpg if you are smooth and 20 mpg on the highway at most.

[Stash21]

About 300.

[M5essex]

in the UK, on 80 litres (apprx.17.5 UK gallons) I usually get about 300- 350 a tank. I drive mainly short distances, only 8 miles to work each way

on a long highway drive recently I got 500 to one tank! cruising at +90 most of the way including a few blasts too.

however my ave. on the trip computer shows only 20.5 mpg in the 4200 miles i've covered. still better that the e92 M3 I had previously.

if you drive erratically or spirited you'll be getting about 200 ish to a tank

don't drive like a nanny or think about fuels consumption too much or you might as well have bought a 520D...

Enjoy!!

I always fill up at 1/4 tank so about 220 around town.

If your concern about the gas mileage, CANCEL YOUR ORDER!!

When you purchase a M5, you also become best friends with the guys that work at the gas station.

My Tesco clubcard points have never been so high!!
300 miles on a good behaviour tank, 200-240 usually, ive done about 2500 miles.

[black993s]

Averaging 300 per tank with split city/highway driving. Occasionally a little worst...

[JOHNBMWM5]

My average over 11650 miles is 24 MPG.
I think thats good. Almost all out of town work though.

My commute is 15 miles each way, roughly 50/50 highway/backroads. My long term MPG is 16.0 and has been for the last year or so. For the highway portion of my commute I usually set the CC at 82 mph - this really helps my average by offsetting my "spirited driving" at other times! The estimated range when I fill up is generally between 370 - 415 miles depending on how aggressively I was driving just before the fill-up (it seems the range is calculated based on the most recent MPG history as opposed to the long term history).

I tested real world MPG of M5, 12L/100Km

Extra 100 to 145 miles of range over my M3 - can't wait to move up to an M5!

[Spinny02]

feels like 100 ! but its more =P. To be expected.

I'll never understand why when anyone inquires as to the expected range, many folks instantly assume the Person asking is concerned with fuel economy.

I know when I asked the question, several posters told me to 'cancel my order'... 'If your concerned of MPG, look somewhere besides the M5'... Etc..

And no matter how many times I stated I wasn't 'concerned' with MPG...I UNDERSTAND that a 4400lb car with a TTV8 putting out 560hp is GOING to consume a greater amount of fuel per mile... And that I was simply inquiring to get a sense of the expected RANGE on one tank... I still got the same comments. I found it quite irritating. Though, I'm somewhat easily irritated by people who don't listen (read).

Hi Rocky, I get about 450 kms / 280 miles in mixed driving AVG & 600 kms / 375 miles in mostly good motorway/freeway driving with 10-15% stop and go city driving AVG. I hope that helps! Thank you.

[rocky]

thanks guys......

[Ex_Stig]

6k miles and I am finally up to 14.4mpg average!

If you are asking about MPG's on a M5 then maybe you should look into something more economical. The thought of gas mileage should never cross ones mind when ordering that car.

I partially agree/disagree. Sure, you can afford to pay for the fuel if you can afford this car. But would you have purchased this car if it gives you 1 mile per gallon? It's like someone saying, if you have to ask how much M5 costs, you should buy a Hyundai instead. Some, including myself, like to know how much fuel it uses. One thing that concerns me about a car with bad fuel efficiency is that I need to stop by the gas station too often. Luckily, F10 M5 has decent size fuel tank.

200-250
