This might be interesting for anyone looking at a sensible Retro daily, it shows expected MPG and real-world experiences from folk who own the motors in question.
Limitations :
It's a USA based site, since a USA gallon is less than a UK gallon, you need to multiply the USA mpg by 1.2 to get UK mpg
As it's USA, some of the common European makes are not listed, most J makes are included
It only covers cars 1984 - current, so it's no use for pre-83 motors

using BMW 3-series as an example www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/PowerSearch.do?action=noform&path=1&year1=1984&year2=1992&make=BMW&baseModel=3%20Series&srchtyp=ymm
Multiply the USA mpg (24) x 1.2 = UK MPG 28.8 (which is about what I was getting with E36 325i & 328i )
This maybe better in one of the "Reference / website" forums, but I've put it in general so more folk can see it and give their feedback (any use ?? total junk??)
Hope it helps, anything that gets & keeps older motors in use has to be good news
