Y50 M35/45 drivers what are your MPG numbers??

I dont agree with this...

Also, I agree on the acceleration; it seems that coming up slowly to speed actually hurts vs. getting up to speed quickly. Thought it was a fluke until reading in thread that others seem to have similiar results.

...but do whatever you think works man. The group of people that get the best MPG are older people who take about 10 seconds to get to 35 MPH, lol.

I think I am one of the top MPG people here, and Im 23 :p

I have always recommended what ncm35s said, it gets you the best mpg by far.

That method probly works for the 35's but I know if I accelerate up to speed fast my MPG'S go down instantly.

I was thinking about trying it in my M45, but I doubt I can get much better than 23-24 with the mixed 2-lane driving I am doing, so I'm glad you made that observation (I also like using less than half a quart of oil per change @ 100,000+ miles).

Not sure how age got into the mix on this; just sharing what I've experienced. Don't know how accelerating quicker = older people. LOL.
