there was someone in the other thread about mpg in a tank. he self tuned to 16:1 a/f ratio for daily driving and gets really insane mileage.
u can get 30+mpg in any car when u just coast down the mountain most of the time but if u average it... i highly doubt its possible. just because its a heavy car and drivetrain loss.
i daily drive mine, sadly im already the designated car/driver for when we go snowboarding :-(
hiner005 is right, its 14gal tank. source from "insidelane"

I can average 27mpg over a long trip usually, as long as I'm not going through mountains. And most I filled up for is like 13.01 gal. Its my personal goal to crack 30mpg but its going to be tough. I'll need to apply a lot of creative ideas. None of which include changing the afr. DDing in a city though is pretty bad. I usually get 270 miles to a 1/4 tank.

Looking to pick up an evo for just this reason. I snowboard a lot and I need a more stout car for heading in the mountains, my beater won't cut it. With a good tune, can you get a pretty decent mileage on the highway? Some people have said they get up to 30mpg, sounds a bit hard to believe.

Not a daily for me, I have an E39 540i for daily. It's modified with some bolt ons and an M5-style sports facelift kit (minus the quad exhaust) and it an auto which is why it's my daily. I got the EVO after the BMW so I never sold the E39 and don't plan to. It's comfortable, has plenty of low end torque and an auto box which for me is perfect for daily plus it sounds incredible. They're pretty old now but they still turn heads on the street, the M Sport ones that is
