I scored almost 28mpg this tank! some city driving, 3 people in my car driving, and driving like an old woman. WOO HOO!
I'm jealous. In miles, I only get about 320/16 gallon tank. Thats 500 km/55 litres for my fellow Canadians. And that would be 100% on the highway.

Hell I just did a 600 mile round trip and got 28ish MPG on that trip. I feel that with more miles and some syn oil I could have seen 30 MPG. This car is great.
I bought a trip computer, don't remember the brand, it shows instantaneous mpg. This is on a Mazda3 s, not an MS3. Anyway, mpg varies from 5 when starting a cold car and pulling out of the garage, to 40 or more when driving at a steady 40mph, to over 100mpg when coasting with clutch depressed. Everything depends on how and where I am driving. I guess everyone knows that, but it's startling to see it so clearly on a display.

for MPG, shoulda bought the non-speed M3 w/2.0
Your never gonna get great MPG with the speed, given the size of engine, and the way it is valved. That's the price you pay for the performance.
I own a 3i, with 2.0, auto, and get mid thirties MPG on the highway, and about 28-29 with a mix of city/highway (with no stopngo rush hour type action).

Stop driving it like Grandpa Magoo and start driving it like the old lady from Pasadena!!!
and I had to read your post twice... at first thought you wrote 30-40 miles increase per gallon... was about to call out :bs: (attn)

Given the performance...27.XX MPG is great gas mileage!
It is, you got way more than I did in my regular 3s...
I'm seeing just under 10L/100kms, around 24mpg.
It must be the wing that makes you fly, increasing your mpg and your big baller chrome rims giving you more weight to roll down hills. Who would have known that it would work?

I found that on the few occasions I got 27 or 28MPG, I got like 23 on the tank right before or right after it. It's all about the fillup! Unless you can fill it to exactly the level you started that tank on, you're calculating from bad numbers to start with. My running average over 12,000 miles is 26.
