factory published fuel mileage for 3.5
What was the factory published fuel mileage for a 3.5 coupe? It seems that everyone and their dogs can get better fuel mileage than me, but I want to know what the factory says.
My 2.8 gets 13, maybe 15 just hiway, and my 3.5 struggles to break 12mpg, usually getting 11mpg mixed driving. When I complain my mechanic always put the cars on the exhaust sniffer and tells me the mix is good. I'm also pretty gentle with the gas pedal. I read somewhere that the 3.5 fuel consumption was 18 liter per 100km which i calculated to be 13mpg and that the M130 was about the same but I'm not sure if it was factory data. When the europeans publish this figure is it at a steady cruise or is it city condition? My 3.5 is my daily driver and the premium fillups really add up now that gas prices are so high so I want to know if there is something I can do. Perry
