M3 E92 sub 10 to the gallon! Surely a problem somewhere? Low mileage full service history upto date

Lawsy, don't worry about fuel economy, you'll sell it within 3 weeks and only manage one tank full

Just checked my computer, last 310 miles av 17.3, 160 motorway in that, rest stop start and normal town driving, average since battery last out is 19.7, average under 10 means something wrong!

One of many things I don't miss about the E92 M3 ... paying for the bloody petrol

It's a thirsty beast .... don't miss it a bit
