650i gas costs?

[besnik]

How much do you guys spend weekly or monthly on gas for your 650i if you daily it? How hard do you drive it?

[FinalRenegade]

I average one tank a week on my previous 650, sometimes 1.3 tanks, sport mode pretty much everywhere, 16MPG lol
I used to drive 100KM to and from work in total

Here's my 2020 gas mileage chart for the F06:

I use Shell, if you register with theirs rewards you save 5 cent on every gallon and Tuesday or Thursday depending on when you are it’s 20 cents off premium. So far this year I saved $52 on gas. I try and look at how much I can save rather than how much I spend because I do like to drive.

Does that auto populate or do you have to fill in every time.

The “actual MPG” column has a formula (starting with the current year...the former year is brought over from the last row of the previous year’s chart...{row 3: [=SUM(C3/D2)] & row 4: [=SUM(C4/D3)]} in each cell that populates and changes for each row of that column...and the totals at the bottom also contain formulas that populate after I enter/fill the cells with new data. The odometer mileage and trip odometer mileage is written on the gas receipt after every fill-up then the trip odometer is reset to 000.

The formulas for the cells with totals varies...some are SUM formulas like for TANK miles: [SUM(C2:C20] & some are AVERAGE formulas like the AVG MPH column: [=AVERAGE(F2:F20]

I generally see 16.x mpg when I check, most of that's commuting in town, some highway here and there for work stuff. Kinda surprised considering how much I like the gas pedal. On the highway I see mid-20's cruising 80-85.

EDIT: down to 15.8 LOL. Anyone know what timeframe the car uses for the avg mpg number? Or if it's a setting you can change?

18mpg

try going into your MMI : Driving information
reset the two averages (one in trip computer, the other I forget but its very obvious which option it is) and it will now start new average

The time frame it uses is from your last reset. You have two separate systems. The one in your iDrive system on the center screen and the one at the bottom of your cluster. They reset separately.

So that means the average was higher when I got it and I've dragged it down from the 16's into the 15's so far, with my actual burn rate unknown

That's weird but...I guess I don't mind having 2 to play with. Why they gotta be separate, BMW?

Your actual burn rate can be easily known just be resetting one of the counters. Go into your trip computer in iDrive and click "reset." No surprise you have dropped 1 mpg average over a prior owner if their daily commute was even slightly different.

Having two systems is nice. You can track mpgs on a trip w/o losing your long term average.

That's true, I ought to go in and reset to see only my lead-footing results. I came from a lightweight turbo 4-cyl so not only does the car inherently eat more gas, but I'm constantly making it worse enjoying all the torque.


I'm with you on 2 trackers being nice, never seen it on mpg before, just trip odometers.
