Lowest average MPG

osbornsm · 04-27-2015, 03:58 PM

Before some recent, um... sporty driving, I had reset the average MPG counter for the car.

Over the course of 80 miles, i averaged 6.8 MPG.

What's the lowest you've had your MPG for any significant distance?
- I say "significant" because it's easy to reset the meter and drive at full throttle for 3 seconds.

Whacha got?

When I was balls out at the track at Sebring I got 6.2. Lol.

Did u guys have a tune? If ur WOT a/f ratio hitting stock 11:40/1 then you can save some fuel if u tune to 12:70-12:50/1 u neeeed an oil cooler for 12's.

I managed <8 mpg on a tank once (120 miles). Stock tune.

I'm averaging 16-18 just driving like I normally do. Hopefully I'll get a chance to take it to Summit Point or somewhere similar and join the under 10 crowd.

Wow, I never get that low unless I'm on track. =O

Yeah man I'm averaging 15 mpg to 16 mpg too. And I'm not Going hard either. Normally shift around 2500rpm. No idea what I'm doing wrong

15-16 seems abnormally low.... Even if you're all local.

My monitor is litres/100km and max's out at 40l/100km and track-days always max out - that is about 7 miles per imperial gallon.

This is still better than my race car (see my sig), which is 0.8 litres per kilometre on E85 in race conditions.

i get 16MPG all street driving. Since I did the 4.08 gears, i get 14 MPG LOL.

I have been using gas cubby app since I bought the Z, and over 2.5 years my MPG average is 16.2. I do mostly city driving and have 13k miles. This is in Lost Angeles.

sounds like you're doing a lot of short trips which will kill your mileage.

You are correct! I drive 8 miles to work oneway on major surface streets. But, even though it is only 8 miles, the traffic makes it an easy 30-45 min so idling at lights doesn't help either. But I do take her on the freeway once a week to wind her out.

you should look at the other side of the coin.. many people would kill for a 2.9 commute to work
