At 1.2k Miles I am averaging 16.8 mpg with AC and radio on all the time. Florida heat requires A/C. That is with 30% highway, 70% City. Went up from about 14 MPG when I first got the car.
Just turned over 2500 miles in my '09 G37xS. So far I'm averaging 22.5mpg and 40mph for daily driving. On a recent 500 mile trip I averaged 26.1mpg at 72.5mph with cruise locked at 75mph. This is on 91-93 octane. Overall, I'm impressed...

Since when does having the radio on make a difference in MPG? lol

Does the G37xS exist? How do you get the "S" package added?
Well the radio does draw current, so therefore that increases the load on the alternator and on the engine. Not much though.
Unless you've got a serious sound system with a trunk full of speakers and amps, the radio isn't going to draw enough current to make the alternator put a load on the engine that you'd be able to notice. Come on....seriously? "I get .0001WHP with my radio off!!!!!" OMG!!!!!!! If it would even be that much......

Hey I put in my disclaimer when I said "not much though". lBut all of those small electrical loads do add up and do put a load on your car. But like you said it will be hardly noticeable.
