Drove from LA to Las Vegas last week. MPG was 24.5 driving at 75 - 80 MPH on cruise control.

It's mostly about RPM at cruising speed.
 
That and ULEV.

M35 non-sport mileage by aaficionado

Bought M35 non-sport in January 2006. Great car! Learned to manage my foot on the accelerator, it's a habit now, although somewhat disconcerting when I have to drive a rental car during an out of town business trip. Use premium gas. Get right at 18 mpg, with 50% city street driving. The other 50% is what I call metro-area hwy driving - meaning hop up on to an interstate, and drive 10-20 miles to get to another part of town. Have not done any true long distance hwy driving... i.e. hundreds of miles on a single trip.

I commute 28 miles one-way with about 20 being on the freeway. After 16 months the computer reads my overall average is 20.2 I always use premium fuel.

M35 base - manual mode by blueskies2

I have found that mileage is better if you use the manual shift mode. The D (automatic setting) always keeps the gear in position for maximum performance. For the best mileage, it is best to keep the car in 4th or 5th gear. Manual mode lets you select higher gears at the expense of acceleration (though it is still plenty of power for everyday driving).
 
And when you want the max performance you can manually select lower gears.

M35x gas mileage by joegolfer1

I have an '06 M35x and I am getting 19 mpg. I have only checked gas mileage twice in 10,000 miles.
 
Prior car was a 2003 M45 and I got 20 mpg. Not unhappy but I did think my gas mileage would go up with the new one.
 
On another subject, the M45 was terrifying in the snow and M35x is a beast. Very happy.

M45 gas mileage update by shmang

All:
 
Are there any M45 owners (prefer over 1 year old, so it shows broke in gas mileage) that can share their gas mileage as well as the driving style and city/highway %.
 
I have a M45 and it seems that I basically get same city or highway, which is around 20 (say 18.5 city and 20.3 highway). Is this normal?

Dang! You couldn't wait until Feb 8 to ask that question? We were headed full-on into 2 years of nobody caring about the gas mileage of this car!
