Hi guys,
I am looking at 330e's at the moment but cant find much about real world MPG for longer commutes. I know there is a 330e thread but it is 223 pages long and hasn't been updated for a while!
I currently do around 18k miles a year. Most of my work is a 200 mile drive away and i'm usually doing a 450 mile round trip on average. 90% of which is on a motorway.
I have a Mini Cooper S at the moment which I can just about squeeze 420 miles at 40mpg but it isn't very enjoyable.
Does anyone have any real world data for that sort of journey.
From what I have read I could get around 20 miles on battery which would get me onto the motorway from my house, and that I could charge the battery whilst using petrol only mode. How well does the hybrid system work when sat at 70mph (or less, I drive like a granny) is it actively saving you fuel once the battery has ran down by charging it in short burst and cutting the engine when your cruising or does it just stick with the petrol engine until you slow down and then it has a bit of electric range?
From a full tank on that sort of journey, how many miles would you be getting from full to empty?
I guess im looking for a 2016-2018, any recommendations on things like warranty and battery life etc would be great.
Thanks

Thanks guys.
As I go into London quite a bit and with the rising cost of Diesel, it was definitely putting me off getting a Diesel.
Its a shame they don't do a 330e D!
My budget is up to £20k so im not sure I could get a full electric with a decent range for that. Might be a full Diesel is the best compromise!

Thanks guys, definitely some things to think about then!
I have also been looking at Volvo S90's and V60's with a diesel engine so that could be the way to go for all these miles im doing. I think in the next 3 years ill be able to pull the trigger on a Model 3 or similar so just need something that isn't going to rinse me for the next 3 years!
