C'mon, lets talk about what our M's are really good at!

Stock w/ Mobil One, "drive it like you stole it" style, Our M45 can not hit anywhere below 11 mpg

Can anyone beat that?!

Omi

you can consistently hit below 11mpg on a 45 if you drive it like that. An M35 with normal driving is at best 18 in the city and 22 on the highway.

I would expect my M45 to get 11 mpg's if I drove it like that too, but I don't.
With more moderate driving, and a 75%/25% mix of hwy. and city driving, I get about 25 miles per imperial gallon.
Typically, city driving yields in the 15-20 mpg range, while hwy. driving yields in the 25-30 mpg range (with care).
I consider this quite adequate for the size of ride and power available.

Our M's are great rides, and like our G-brothers', gas mileage isn't the strong suit, but bang-for-the-buck is another story..

Neal, you didn't say how good a mileage you can get.???? I suspect you can achieve at least in the low 20's when you ease up on the 'fun pedal'.

Enjoy---It's quite a ride.

you can get 20mph? thats no fun! Its so much easier to get 11! Our M is leased (+ I dont pay for its gas!). My G isnt to bad. I usually get 19 mpg all city (after new intake).

Ahhhhh.....Free gas.....That would be nice ...

19 is pretty good in the G. Like you say you have to have some fun.
I see that's 19 mpg's to the U.S. gallon.....that's even better.
