are the m37x gas guzzlers

[Icarus26]

do not own one yet! but I'm guessing they have not improved the fuel efficiency from the previous m35

they now have invented these little window stickers . here is how they work you walk in a dealer and right there on the window they spell out the expected gas mileage or you just go to about 10,000 different web pages the fuel economy is listed
what kind of 2nd post is that?

Yeah Not sure WTF was i thinking!
yes I'm aware of the freaking window stickers!!! I want a real drivers insight!! If I were to pull on to a highway and zip for a few secs will I see the car using fuel similar to an f15!

I owned an M 35 '06 and purchased a '13 M37 at the beginning of this year. My M37 has better gas mileage I just looked at combined h'way and town driving and it reads almost 24 MPG. My '06 would have read between 16 and 18 MPG. THE DIFFERENCE! The driving selection from normal to ECO. When I am going over a sustained speed of 50 and above I get about 28 MPG and perhaps more. I rarely use the SPORT Mode which would get 2 MPG

But yes the M37 is better. Even I am surprised. Again the key is the optimal use of ECO mode.
Hope this is helpful

it helps that the new ones starting from 09 and up have 7 speed trannys compared to 08 and below have 5 speed

thanks definitely helpful.

Every car seems like a gas guzzler compared to the Tesla Model S.

wingFeather,

My good buddy, you always lend some humor to the topic. LOL. But I have to offer some kickback on the Tesla and all electric or hybrid cars. They all sound good, but what good are they? What they don't consume in gasoline and pollute the planet, they do another thing and that is use electricity. So we have effectively transferred the polluting gas cars, to polluting via electrical generation producers who use coal, oil and nuclear power. So maybe are cars don't pollute as much, but the generation plants have to kick it up a notch or two and in some cases pollute more. Not to mention, the generation of electricity is not cheap either, so what you save in gas you pay for electricity.

Any type of car that uses electricity in my OP is not a solution to MPG's or pollution. Eventually almost all cars get to the scrap heap. So what are you going to do with all the toxic substances contained in the batteries. Most "green" people say we will recycle them. As one who has spent 35 years in the computer field I heard that logic before. We dumped hundreds of computers containing gold, silver, plastics. We tried to have them recycled and no one wanted them. It was cheaper to just dump them in any old landfill.

So in my OP, electric powered cars is not the way to go. I would never buy one. And NO, I don't have the solution to better MPG's and the pollution problems we are facing. While the Tesla is a mighty fine looking car and drives well, yes, one of my friends owns one and let me drive it, I still walked away thinking this car or any like it are just stop gap measures that make people feel good that they are contributing something to reduce global pollution. They seem to feel they are reducing our dependence on foreign oil and are polluting less in the process. In my OP they just may be adding more to problem, just my OP.
