My gas guage wasnt working before so i had to watch my miles before filling up. Well before it practically ran completely out (wasnt paying attention to the gauge)... 368 miles, so it is possible.

Im definately babying this car and plan on keeping it for a while.
Yes,I got about 325-340 miles a tank in my C43 when I was traveling to FLA!

I went from a 2001 330i to the 1995 C36 and I love the C36 alot more and on top of it... The C36 drives better and is in better shape.

1995 C36 AMG & 2004 MINI Cooper S

yeah I must be a nut.. if the S4 didn't have issues .... but after what I went through there was no way I was touching another S4. What did I have before that S4? a 1992 190e 2.6 sportline.. so its really a case of older to newer, I should have just upgraded to the C36 from there. I went in search of an AMG.. and when I found my c36, I flew to Chicago and drove it back to CT.

Bottom line: The C36 was relatively cheap, and its paid for. I love the handling of RWD. My '95 I still turn heads. And I can't get this damn grin off my face every time I step on the gas.

Current other cars include:
2004 MINI Cooper S
2004 Audi A4 Avant 1.8TQ (Wife's)
