Obviously, driving style will vary and comparing DCT to 6MT, the DCT could produce slightly better MPG's, especially in auto mode, but with my M3 6MT I averaged about 14-15mpg(75%city/25%hwy). The 1M however, I am currently at 17.0mpg since I picked up the car. Same commuting distance, mostly city. I do find myself hanging on in each gear to listen to the exhaust as the RPM's climb in the 1M, not good for gas mileage! lol

note to self: short shift to improve gas mileage.....nahhhh, screw it!
