Not bad I'd say!

Been experimenting this week on sticking to the speed limits.. gosh it's tough at times! So far, the OBC is telling me I'm doing 31mpg on average (on LPG), lets see if I can keep my nerve until my tank runs dry!

Near the end of my leave now, 2 months and 2500 miles.
1 bad boy trip back from south coast last week and still managed 30 mpg. The trip down kept slightly legal and 33 mpg.
Since we still don't have a second car the B3 is getting 25 around town and lower than 20 if driven in haste.
Not complaining: I looked at the B6 consumption on another forum and smiled.
May part company with the car if finances decree but wont regret it, the memories will live on and another Alpina will be round the corner even if it may be a cheaper alternative. Just awesome

Only joking Neal, yes I used to get a regular 28mpg from the B10 and saw high 32s on longer runs (the new owner is getting the same and has already done 10k miles!).neil wrote:31 mpg sounds pretty good to me Geoff - the B10 3.3s used to do c. 28 mpg.
We'll see how the B3 goes around the highlands, I'll be putting 12/13 hundred miles on it so we should see some useful numbers.

I drive the car with plenty of mechanical sympathy but still as Alpina intended on a mix of quick roads - I deliberately do very little urban driving in the B10.
Four tanks of super into my ownership I'm consistently getting 22 to 23 mpg average out of a tank. I think that's pretty good given the driving I do, plus the fact it's an auto with a honking great V8 and weighs not too far off two tons
