My 2017 M3's recent FC from my northern trip to Baguio.

NLEX/SCTEX/TPLEX 14 km/Li with cruise control set at 100kmh

Uphill battle with trucks along Marcos Highway all the way to Baguio 12 km/Li. The 2.0Li M3 was very easy to drive with just automatic transmission mode when tackling the steep tight curves of Marcos Highway and overtaking the trucks and underpowered sedans. The M3 is smart enough to keep the right high rev (3000-4000rpm) when going uphill. The only time I would use the manual transmission mode was when using engine braking when going downhill.

Body roll was really minimal, quite impressive. Kids enjoyed the ride feel from the centrifugal force whenever I would speed up on an uphill tight corner.

When I got it the odometer already had 7km on it. It was already blinking too. =)

Hmm... 7 km on yours vs. 26 km on mine.

Oh well... we didn't bother asking the sales manager when we got our M3...

Also just noticed, if i let go of the throttle, the instantaneous km/l skyrockets to 50-60km/l.

That's why most hypermilers use the pulse and glide technique, where they will accelerate for a certain length of time, and then coast for an equivalent length of time.

This is also what I do, been my practice since my years with my then Altis [emoji4]

With my Altis, the instantaneous fuel consumption goes nuts (99 km/l). With my M3 now, it goes 0 L / 100 km.

There's one thing I've started observing... the "behavior" of the average fuel consumption and of the average speed.

I think I'm arriving at the conclusion that those 2 show varying figures when you reset them after refueling and before starting the engine vs. after refueling and after starting the engine.

The former shows faster km/h, but higher fuel consumption.

The latter shows slower km/h, but lower fuel consumption.

I'm still not sure which of the two methods(?) is correct: resetting after refueling and before starting the engine or resetting after refueling and after starting the engine.

[Altuy]

To illustrate my post above...

The two yellow-highlighted figures are the instances when I reset my average speed and average FC meters after re-fueling and before starting the engine.



Compared to my historical data, the two figures are showing a faster speed, but higher fuel consumption.

I thought something went wrong with my gauges/meters after I brought my M3 to casa for its 6th month-PMS. I even thought the faster speed/higher FC is because they rotated the tires (with just less than 4,000 km worth of wear on them).

I guess I'll have to stick to my "usual" method of resetting my gauges/meters after starting the engine for consistency's sake...

Crazy fuel consumption! At 64.9 km/L, I know this isn't true. This short stretch is mostly downhill.
