Driving Style- yeah I know, like you stole it...
« Reply #30 on: April 02, 2006, 04:21:05 PM »
i had the privilige to drive two sixes- an e36 328i for a few years and for a few months a 325is... with those cars i tend to either drive really smooth but fast or by playing the OBC mpg game.

in my subie i drive rediculously fast most of the time and can observe the fuel dropping significantly over the course of a drive... gas sucks

i drive over 120 miles on interstate 95 everyday commuting to and from work. I'd like to say that I stay a consistent 7mph over the speed limit and cruise w/ traffic, but whenever i hit the acceleration i don't stop until 80mph+ and then it's too hard to let off the throttle long enough to get below 75, and then someone passes me so I have to either A) not tailgate, but "drift" them, or B) kick 4th gear and show them how a REAL car passes someone, ya feel me? As far as driving style I try to stay smooth and precise while maintaining good speed and definitely not hesitating to drop a gear for acceleration, after all, you wouldn't want to work the engine to hard in the low rpm's at WOT, you might get worse gas mileage!

I drove my other BMW on the Autobahn.  The car really showed it's merits at speed.

indeed. i've hit over 120mph probably up to ten times. where i live there is a 3 mile bridge w/ no place for cops to sit so as long as you don't run up on one it's how fast you can go with about a 2 mile stretch starting at 55mph, I love it!
