40 mpg is easy to do in imperial gallons. All 9-5's do that.
Norm does claim US gallons, but I believe he reaches his numbers by clearing the number on the SID on the highway once on cruise around 60mph. Norm, please correct me if I am mis-stating this.
I would claim they do 30mpg highway, and that is based on fuel receipts and odometer readings + includes acceleration onto the highway + not using cruise (I never use cruise) with an average speed of 70mph.
I love the top gear bit with the headline "M3 gets better fuel economy than Prius". See link!
M3 vs prius
