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 https://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. Watch the video or read the text transcription.
