Got to reset both to get an updated/accurate reading.

Edit: Oh, and there's now a nice setting in the car computer that lets you measure MPG from the last gas fill up.

That's nice, but the question is how accurate (or at least consistent)? And the only way to find out is putting a few tanks through.

But if that 14 to 21 is anywhere close to legit, that's pretty awesome!

I'm hoping it sticks--especially after I deflate the tires to the proper spec.

Edit: Although a cold snap here is taking care of some of the overinflation problem...

Wow that is impressive considering the m440 is a bigger/heavier car.

It is. I have gotten 14 around town in almost every 6 cylinder BMW I’ve owned: E46 M3 convertible; e91 328iT; f23 M240 convertible.

Obviously not trying hard to conserve. Trying hard would get me 17 around town. Highway was a lot better, of course.

The Mazda was also pretty lousy, actually, for a 4 cylinder turbo. Maybe 17 city; 25 highway.

WOW! $40k… mind blown. I think my family member got $48k via USAA for their 2018 with under 4k miles that was totaled last summer. It also had $3k+ in PPF that got flushed.
