Direction of wind in a 900 can make a big difference to mpg figures. I reckon up to 4 or 5 mpg if you're cruising around 80+. Anyway, that's my experience. I'll post my mpg figures soon as I get back from socialising. I've had 40+mpg from my 900T vert on one occasion. UK imperial galls of course.but on the way back she got 30+ which is the best ever for the car why 5mpg difference no idea as topped up both times to brim.
No my point was they were worse, since UK gallon is bigger it should be always more milesAs for the Brits getting better numbers... Hmm... Could the Lucas electrics be more efficient than the Bosch?!?!?!![]()
An NA will always be better than a turbo. It's not squirting as much fuel in and the higher compression ratio helps. Still, not bad figures.I have a 85 900i 8v that gets a steady 32 to 35mpg and a 89EMS that is doing the same if not slightly better.
