Nothing
On the highway I get between 21 and 23mpg.
In town driving though I can get anything between 10 and 17mpg 
depending on driving style. In another thread on this topic someone said he think the high consumption is due to the fact that the engineers make the cars richer than needed to protect the engine. I tend to agree with that. An interesting fact is that the f/c on my car is exactly the same whether I'm doing 75mph or 95mph. That is according to the readout I get on the dash.

we'll we don't buy the C32 for it's gas mileage hehe..
When driving in "W" mode you can save some fuel, because the transmission won't downshift as quick as when in "S" mode. It'll be less aggressive.. and softer.. to me it feels like grandma's cadillac..
