Things in Puerto Rico are awful, guy! Just to give you an idea: The base 370Z costs here $50,000!!! Probably, more that the NISMO, where you live! Ain't that highway robbery, dude?! That's why I had to get me an '04.5 Touring Coupe; it had only 13k on her, 'cause her original owner used to own a Pub and hardly ever used her. It's turned out to be one reliable, sweet ride! So far, the only thing that has failed on me is the driver's side power window motor; I paid $161.00, plus the old motor, at Advance Auto Parts. No Problemo! Greetings from P.R.! Oh, I almost forgot to tell you: My son's stationed at Laredo with the B.P.--Laredo South Sector. He also bought a used '04.5 Z, the Enthusiast model, though; and his has given him no pains, so far, either. Funny thing is, while his mother and I were visiting with him there, in Sept., gas prices were equal to Puerto Rico's. All of a sudden, they've skyrocketed down here!

dude!

i think by now every single member in this forum knows about how you worship your 04.5 350z!

you dont need to repeat yourself in that manner any longer :tup:

He's also only had to replace a window motor, 7 times by my last count!

I think it's his way of talking himself out of buying a 370z!

I'm not worried about the price of gas as much as I'm worried about my mpg...

Since I've had the car (still less than 800 miles), I've averaged 16mpg! No crazy racecar driving, plenty of cruising at 58mph in 6th gear. That seems awfully low. Of course, I would have gotten an Altima if I cared too much about it. I just figured 18 mpg would be the minimum, not 15.9.

my mpg went up drastically after only a few tanks of gas. 16mpg avg babying, early shifting, keeping the revs down etc. now i do 19-20mpg fairly consistantly and i romp on it probably too often

if you have an iPhone i recommend getting the app "Gas Cubby." you can use it to keep track of maintenance and fillups very easily with mpg, $/gal, overall spending records. it's also exportable to excel should you feel the neccesity. also, works for multiple cars, not just one, and it's like 6 or 7$. if you do your own maintenance on your car you need to keep track of it including mileage for your factory warranty to be honored so that's why i got it.

...on the other hand, I keep reading 'bout all these spanking new 370s with all these old AND new bugs. Guess THAT justifies keepin'
my 350, huh?!

i dunno what i pay for a gallon of gas but its like a buck a litre... god bless my 07.666666667 G Coupe for burning the gas!

I use goat urine, seems to last longer and it's cheap.

Otherwise, in PHX it's around $2.90.

updated looks/interior and the VVEL is worth it.

Roughly about $3 here for Premium. Luckily my 2005.75 ZX6R gets roughly 33MPG.

haleluya, my 89.6666667 6Baller gets 14 mpg...

Sweet deal, my 2009.2 370 sport touring. gets 30 mpg.

My harry potter broom gets 1.5 hrs on set of AA batteries.
