A new low...

Well, I was doing some acceleration/speed runs with some friends this morning (there's a link to the video in the Arch nemesis E90 thread...), and I hit a new low: 7mpg average over 32 miles.

Yep. 7.

I'm not surprised or disappointed (full throttle 20 to 160mph 10 or 15 times will do that). I just thought that was an entertaining number. 7.

Have a happy and safe 4th, everyone!!

Josh

Dayyyym! That's impressive. I suspect my instantaneous MPG was probably in that vicinity, but I didn't check it until the gas station after our runs.
