325 convertible MPG

Mathematically correct.

But how about "he weighs nothing because his little hoofs don't have opposable thumbs and he can't lift anything on to the scales"? ;P

All right then: GROOOAAAAAAAAANNN.

Happy?

He would weigh less on the moon too. So?

My '94 325i gives a combined - long term - mileage of 24.5 mpg. When driving on the freeeway at 80+, I get about 27.7 over my 40 mile commute. If I get stuck in traffic for a very long time on the way to work, then the number drops rapidly.

My car has the OBC (On Board Computer) with lots of buttons. One of the buttons is labeled CONSUM. When I press it, the OBC displays CONSUM1, and when I press it again, it reads CONSUM2. I reset CONSUM1 everytime I fill the tank (everytime I get gas, I fill the tank) and the reading is usually a bit above 24.5. CONSUM2 is never reset, so it gives a reading over a very long time. (CONSUM1 & CONSUM2 can each be reset, but I do not reset CONSUM2 as a matter of practice.)

I assume I could slow down to the maximum legal speed limit in my state, and improve my fuel mileage as a result, but what's the fun in doing that?

But his mass would be the same.

What? Less than nothing?

Point of interest is that my lock-stock '94 540iA also has the avg. MPG feature in its OBC and I get almost the same mileage. Actually, I tend to average 23.8-24.2 mpg in mixed driving, but it does not get much better on the highway. Not bad for a 286HP / 295 ft. lbs beast with a slush box... ;-)
