Josh,
The E36M3 list is here: http://www.bmw-m.net

Depends entirely on the weight of your right foot and the mods.
My euroHFM Conforti sharked '95 M3 gets ~22mpg in town and closer to 20mph
on the highway (TX speeds).
On a rare occasion when my speed is constrained by the traffic to 60-70mph,
the milage spikes to as high as 25-27mpg. But like I said, that doesn't
happen often.

If you wanted a very high MPG #, you bought a wrong car.
If you wanted a giant smile on your face, you've hit the jack pot.
