1989 BMW Vehicle Fuel Economy

Category: BMW 2002 Specifications | Related: BMW 2002, Fuel Economy

As a site dedicated to restoring BMWs - specifically older model BMW 2002's - I imagine most of us have early model BMWs.

I found this info on http://www.fueleconomy.gov/ and thought I'd pass it along.

There is also an interesting video on how the EPA has changed the way it estimates MPG. You can watch the Windows Media version, QuickTime, or read the text transcription.
