A new competition for us all: Post your average lifetime RPM

[G.Newt]

The engine is still creating revs during idle time, so no need to subtract that out. Those with higher idle times will have an inflated average RPM with this formula. If you wanted to get real fancy, you could figure out the idle RPM, multiply that by idle time, and get a more accurate number.

Came here to say this. The original equation is leaving in idle revs while taking out idle hours so the numbers are inflated.

Check out this creampuff! Lol I’m only accountable for 200/4,489 miles.

1,712.3 @ 37.7 mph if my math is correct.

That's true, but if we're all consistent and non of us are cops then it shouldn't matter too much. Of course, folks like me who use the car as a DD probably idle more (at lights) than the guys and gals who just take the car out on weekends for a drive.

Well, it appears that I'm just average, but you guys and gals have set the bar pretty high...

Math should be good but if someone wants to double check it Im at 2184 rpm in a 4BW 6M.

Forgot to add my numbers lol.

1857.4 for me

2237 (5BW A10)

Mine (5BW M6) calculates out to 2,280 average. Not my driving, this is as I bought it. Not bad for pre-owned. Nice little trick to see how the previous owner drove for 6,500 miles.
