That should be good enough for anyone buying a performance car. That's better than any SUV, any supercar and many sports cars. It's also around the same gas mileage as a BMW 5 series which most people here would buy as a family car never thinking twice about fuel efficiency.
Finally, my wife's old E46 325xi got no better gas mileage than my M3 if both were driven hard, and also her current 335i gets about the same mileage as my M3.
IMHO this thread will prove to be much ado about nothing once more real world experience is had with the new M3.

I will take your bet...... You can decide the wager, $100 is fine but not really fun. How about the the loser must put a Honda VTEC Sticker on their car and take a high-rez photo and post it?
How do we make the determination? I.e. whose numbers are we going to use?
