I noticed I am guzzling gas in the new supercharged M3. Even in normal dirivnig conditions I am getting really poor gas mileage. I need to get some more exact numbers, but I was just curios so I hit the OBD consumption numbers and range to see where I was at and got reading of like 83 and 99 mpg.... and a range of over 200 miles on less than a quarter tank.
Is that a normal error for TS supercharged e36's or is there something fishy at play here that I need to investigate/
2.1L Eurosport Twin screw on the 98 m3. Please send tires.
Your OBC was not recoded for the bigger injectors. Calculate using the odometer and fill up gallons. When you make more power you use more fuel. I would expect mpg to go down.
That, and it's just so hard to keep your foot out of it. Combined mileage, I'm probably in the 16-18 mpg range, but these trips are rarely more than 10 or 20 miles. I'd fully expect to get 20-22 mpg rolling down the Interstate at a sedate (and constant) 70 mph.
I did notice the last time I drove my Coupe I was actually being quite civilized, fortunately I realized it with just enough time and space to make a few pulls before getting home...
With the open source openOBC you can adjust the constant to adjust for changing the injector size and tune so that the mpg reads correct.
