offical fuel economy vs you

Crazy8

I average 23mpg's

Push370zzz

I can easily get 20mpg in the city, but unfortunately I find myself pressing the gas pretty hard after just a few miles of that...so I'm actually getting about 14-16mpg. My Range Rover consistently gets about 11mpg. Kind of sucks, the Altima could do nearly 30 in the city but was such a bore!

Using Gas Cubby app as well...

I'm averaging 17.93 mpg. High of 25.44 (highway, but I was moving and had a lot of stuff in the car, so I think it could have been better). Low of 14.19 mpg.

I have a 20 mile (one way) commute and 6 miles of it is on the interstate, the other 14 is the most maddening stop/go city driving ever...


Drive safe, y'all!

the computer is saying 15L / 100km for me... mixture of peak hour and motorway driving in Sydney. Car is still new though, only around 1500km on it, so hopefully the economy improves later.

370Zsteve

Around town about 14-18 mpg depending on my right foot

On the highway steady cruise on flat Long Island the other day at 65mph netted me 25 mpg I can live with that

Well there folks, Iv'e said it before and now I can say it again, my touring coupe with over 11000 miles on the clock still gives 28 to 30+ mpg on a consistent basis. This is based on a 250 mile circuit on country roads, through small towns and some in city driving combined with about 70 miles of interstate on the return home. The above is done on a weekly basis and nothing changes.

I prefer the hilly and winding country roads here in Pennsylvania and try to stay away from interstate travel as much as possible but sometimes it is necessary

I use 5/30 synthetic oil and keep my tire pressures at 35 psi, I have never experienced oil temperatures in excess of 220 degrees even in 90 degree heat, so much for the overheating issue. After the first oil change I removed the troublesome bottom plastic engine cover and stored it away.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

QUOTE=rmhockman;394211]I have a 370Z touring coupe (6 speed, no sport package) and have accumulated approx. 9000 miles since I first took delivery in June of 2009.

Amazingly my machine gives me up to 30 mpg on a consistent basis, this includes both in town, highway and interstate driving.

I have been using Castrol Syntec full synthetic oil and sometimes use mid grade gas with no apparent side effects.

Needless to say this car is amazing to drive, a little road noise perhaps but a joy to cruise the mountains of Pennsylvania.

Buddy you must have one of those flux capacitors or something. You know the last guy that invented a device that gave him a "witnessed" 112 mpg ended up dead in the desert. They might just steal your lunch money.

lol, 30+ mpg is def doable if you cruise control at about 90kph on flat roads...

Zsteve

for those getting 30 combined you should notify Nissan so they can change their window stickers. I would have to see it to beleive it, would be nice if true. Sure you guys didnt have your engines swapped out for a 4 cyl?

No way would it be a combined figure but for highways definately doable

The official highway test figure for Australia per a government website is 7.8L/100km... that's 30ish mpg...

Zsteve

no doubt and that is crusing too Im sure. I think some people need to push their Z some and open her up.

i have done numerous 29-31mpg drives of over 200 miles. repeatedly i might add. with city driving mixed in had an ave speed of like 62.

rmhockman

Hey, I couldn't believe this machine was capable of such great mileage but numbers don't lie, not the computer readout which is quite accurate, but fill-up to fill-up calculations.

I guess it all depends on how you drive it!
