Fuel consumption e36 318?

[clovi5]

My 328i, RM100 RON95 gives 460KM Mix driving.

Ditto on this. But apparently yesterday was stuck in some massive jam in KL. The fuel indicator reached 3/4 tank and I only clocked about 70km. :banghead:

The car definitely didn't like the traffic. Or it could be because of the vanos. Already bought the replacement seal. But gonna wait till the car enters the workshop to do everything at once.

larger diameter heavier tires take more energy to spin and will lower your MPG Imagine a tire on spindle and you have to turn it by hand, now imagine a tire twice as heavy, you would have to put a lot more effort into keeping it spinning at the same speed. It can have a significant effect on mileage both by increased weight and the fact that on a larger diameter tire the weight is farther from the center

- urban/town drive rm50 aprox - 230 to 250km
- hiway drive rm50 approx 300 to 350km ( but still depend on speeding over 150 to 160 km/h constantly there about 300km only )

my E46 Year 2000 318i with M5 replica 18' wheel ( staggered ) as below

- exactly the same with E36 for urban/town or hiway drive but that was dulu after i go for top overhaul few months past the fuel consumption start my kepala pusing as below

- urban/town drive rm50 aprox - 170 to 200km only
- hiway drive rm50 approx 200 to 250km only ( but still depend on speeding over 150 to 160 km/h constantly there about 200km only )

installed 18" already bro.. FC no bother.. driving slowly only and maintain the speed, increase stability. :top:
in the beginning want to install 17" but need to change the coil spring but afraid will not able to cross hump so decided to install 18".. hump no bother also anymore..

 

[boyburhan]

guys
i changed from ACS Type 4 18" (23kg each tyre) setup to M ori 17" (19kg each tyre) .... The difference in weight is approximately 4kg lighter on each tyre. so altogether, the car loses around 16+kg on the whole.
I have yet to determine if there is any diff in FC... i surely hope it does have an effect on FC... Will update later

 

[boyburhan]

now recording 150km for every rm30 (15liter more or less). Guess there is a slight reduce in FC, which is good news to me... Car feels lighter definitely

Wats your cruising speed?

 

[Apiz]

mine rm30 = 85km only

 

[boyburhan]

Wats your cruising speed?

I am travelling from gombak to Lembah Beringin on weekdays. My cruising speed is around 130 - 150 km/h.
Yeah, 17" ori BMW M rims setup, are definitely making the ride much lighter...

 

[boyburhan]

mine rm30 = 85km only

that's quite high FC Apiz...
but mine needs to be clarified...im using CF hoods as well (front and back)

[zeroed]

Manual 3L E36... RM10 = 40km. Without tekan.

If tekan... habis la...
