hi i was just wondering how many mpgs u guys get in ur c55/c32 and what kind of mods you guys have in case it affects ur mpg.. TIA.

Bobby Dazzler

22mpg in my standard C32 in stop/start urban driving, and 27/28mpg on a motorway cruise.

Wow! With my '03 C32, I only get 15mpg in urban driving and maybe 20mpg in highway driving. I even complained to the dealer and they told me that was normal. I don't have any mods on it, at least not that I know of. I bought it used 1 year old.

Bobby Dazzler

I do drive like your granny though!!

Holy Cow! No Granny could get that kind of milage out of a C32 or C55! I've tried both Granny and Hammer styles of driving. My average with Granny style is like the previous post, 15 mpg (tops) around town/stop-and-go, 20-22 on the highway. Unfortunately, most of my driving is around town. I will get 200 miles per tank.

Hammering the throttle only causes the dash-mounted computer to laugh at me as it drops my average mpg frighteningly close to single digits.

I'm sure none of us bought these vehicles for great gas milage. There is a price to pay for the sheer joy of the beast.

same here...as long as i keep my foot out of it...

Bif powell

I've never gotten anything above 23 or so - even on long drives to chicago in the 60mph range.

I just drove 545 miles from Charlotte, NC to Georgetown, SC and back with 70 miles around town down there. Got 25.5 mpg going there(down Hill) and 24.2 coming back, for an average 23.9 mpg. Only did 90 mph twice when passing. Driving like Granny the rest of the time.

15 mpg here.. no engine mods..

more151please

upon driving to vegas i broke into the upper 25mpg arena, this was over 280 miles, speeds varrying from 65-90. i got 340 miles or so on that tank. But normally i get about 225 miles per tank, averaging 15-19 mpg.

SE7ENC55

wow thanks guys. and how do our cars compare with other cars such as the ctsv and the s4, and maybe even the m3?

ricc55

Are you guys figuring your mileage from what the on board computer says or are you filling the tank and dividing the miles travelled per total gallons used? I find most on board computers to be off some. My 2000 bimmer computer usually calculates a couple mpg higher than the other method.

Eurocharged Rick

i have been just using the onboard computer, but i will try calculating it out to see how accurate it is...

Ric,

That is because your computer is calculating your fuel consumption even whilst you are not moving ie; at stop lights etc.

Getting 12.8 L/100 km from C32 here in Sydney, all city driving. This calculates to: 12.8 liters/100 km = 18.3761393 miles/gallon(US).

Engine Mods are:
- Powerchip ECU
- K&N Air Filters
- Sprint Booster
- Upgraded Evosport I/C Coolant Reservoir.

Vomit

16-18 MPG combined. Can do 23-24 on highway if you keep the S/C off, which means 75 MPH max cruise. Can get into low teens if just driving around town and having fun. This is with Evo pulleys, ECU, and various other mods (mods don't seem to affect mileage).

I'm getting 15.2 L/100km, calculated since I've got the car new in 2002.
No mods, and strictly driven in the city.

LDNA

how did u manage to stay so low in all city diriving!? that better milage then the 13.5L/100km on my old 330i.

btw i am getting 15.6L/100km from highway/city mixed driving

Bobby Dazzler

Exactly what I've averaged (23.9 mpg) over the last 6 months and 4,000 miles.

C32Luvr

Over the last six months I have probably gotton 20.5 mph.(Ain't Granny all the time!)

chitownC55

Stock C55, in Chicago city traffic, about 11-12 MPG according to the on-board computer. I am pretty quick off lights and stop signs...

OZC32AMG

I am very impressed with these figures. Given the amount of power output, these are not bad fuel consumption figures. The vehicle is always filled with 98 Octane fuel which I believe helps to achieve these figures.

RizAMG

I average 19-20 city/highway driving, but on mainly highway I can get up to 22-23 (and I'm driving 80-90 atleast)

DL_AMG

Average 21mpg on last 15k miles ( reset to date screen). 17-19mpg city, 22.5-25mpg Hwy (65-75mph).

Scoop55

14-15 on my C55 with average driving.
