That's a bit hard to explain, but I'll try: The
3.76 l per 100 km (75 mpg) figure is a combined figure in hybrid mode. The interesting part about this is that BMW doesn't follow the trick other brands have done (of just using the battery load), but does this test under the premise of an equal charge. In other words, the battery charge after the test run is exactly as much as before, yet it consumes only 3.76l per 100km.
I need to check what standard the other figure (1.3l) is for, maybe that's a plug-in or full electric mode calculation.
