The 550 is certainly a gas hog. I've only driven mine roughly 1,000 miles, but I seem to be averaging 18.3 mpg, 350 miles to a full tank. 70% highway perhaps. This is in contrast to my 2002 540, which averaged 22 mpg. 100 extra horse power = 20% reduction in fuel economy. Hard to explain in a town where the Prius rules.
But the ride justifies the guzzle I suppose.

Haven't driven it that close to empty, but probably between 240 and 280 miles. I get 13.8 mpg on average with >90% street driving.

I seem to be getting better gas mileage as I put more miles on the car. Is that the norm? It could just be a bit more highway driving but I got 305 miles on my first tank, 318 next, then 332 and now I'm already at 292 with more then 1/4 tank left.

How do you 550 guys get 300+ miles with urban driving? I admit I don't have a light foot and my home is really uphill, so more gas goes into the engine when I go home, but I only get like 220-250 miles per tank on my 550xi. And I drive 60/40 highway/city.
When driving on a highway only, the best I ever got was a little bit under 370 miles to the tank.

1287Km is my record but my average when doing the odd traffic light Grand Prix etc is 900 I have to say my 520d has the best gas mileage and still pretty good performance in sport+

I find milage to be best when I use the adaptive cruise control a lot. And that will disable sport+. Interesting though, I'll will check this out.

It so depends where you drive. I drove 342 miles on a quarter of a tank from the North of the UK to the South @ 56 mph in rush hour traffic. I got an average of 67.5 mpg. I did the same trip in reverse the next week and got 58.8...
I have had 840 miles from my 2013 520d but do believe given the right location I could do the thousand...at least I believe it but probably will never be able to prove it. I used to go everywhere @ high speed but nowadays cruise around 65 listening to music and enjoying my journey. Sam. |

I get no more than 250 miles all city and that isn't being to heavy on the gas, I do have 20s though. Is this normal?

If yours is a M5 then that sounds about right. IF not then there is something wrong with the car
