Daily Driving a NISMO - negatives of ownership?

DEpointfive0 · 01-01-2014, 05:44 AM

The only thing I have noticed is how chappy your guys' gas mileage is. 21MPG at 85MPH??? Jeezus, are you guys in 4th and 5th the whole time? Same with 21-26 at 55-65MPH. That's terrible. On the freeway it you're really on CC at 75MPH, you should get 26+ let's say a COMFORTABLE 25. On my drive from TX to CA averaging 85 on CC stopping whenever I wanted with a bit of city I did 28.4 miles. I was doing 500 miles between fill ups.

Even at 20mpg, that's twice as good as my fast car. Pretty sure the 4.10 gears hurts the mileage on the highway, but they are worth it IMO.

I recommend everyone to try it before they knock it. __________________ Do YOU want to know what/where I got my username from?
