Which, reading what some of you chaps get, makes me think I'm driving it all wrong!

I call BS!!!! The car is rated 13-19 or 14-20 depending on your source.

I run mine on standard unleaded petrol and I'm getting an average of 22.6mpg! if you drive like a grandad you can even average up to 28mpg, but that defeats the object of owning an M3 methinks!

Yeah, the 24.3 is on the readout in the car - I haven't reset it since I got the car. I do a lot of motorway mileage...which, here in the UK genreally means 70mph max.

Reading the mpg's some of you chaps get makes me feel old!!!!!!!!
