What's your average MPG for your 370z?

Zsteve · 05-10-2010, 09:04 PM

so where are those 30+ mpg guys that were here before? still shows 0.

Pharmacist · 05-10-2010, 09:16 PM

about 16 mpg or so

seungklee · 05-10-2010, 09:21 PM

It's been two and half weeks since I bought the car and have been driving around a lot in both city and freeway. However, I believe I've done more freeway driving than city. I get around 20~21 mpg avg. I should get better mpg once I break her in.

My car is 40th with 6spd manual. Mileage is at 760. Can't wait to break her in!

It's really nice to know some people here actually get 20+ mpg because that means Nissan did make some improvements on the fuel economy from 350z to 370z.

Just out of curiosity, are we calculating these numbers from your gas receipts on how many gallons you filled up (or other methods) or are you guys straight up reading these values from your computer?

As much I don't like the numbers the car computer's giving me, I think it's a better method for us to read off the computer reading because it's a good baseline for us to compare the values.

I think some people getting over 22 MPG is just way too high and there's no way we can really validate that they measured it right. Have anyone actually got 22 MPG+ reading on their computer meter? That's good stuff if you did.

Otherwise, if you're calculating these MPG #'s on your own, the only way to validate it is the computer reading. The car computer tracks the average speed so at least we can be more consistent and not have to debate about amount City & Highway drive.

Also, it'd be nice to also tell us what your AVG MPH (Speed) states on your car computer meter. =) Thanks!

I had reset my trip computer shortly before getting the 21+mpg figure, but yeah, that's where I got it.

GasCubby for the iPhone

I have a pretty heavy foot most of the time so keep that in mind. The massive dip in MPG was my track weekend.

scruffydog · 05-11-2010, 10:50 AM

I should totally get this app and see how I'm doing. Rep+

bvl · 08-27-2011, 06:51 AM

That is a nice little app. I have been using an app called MPG from back in the days of the Newton Messagepad (yes, some of you may need to look that one up, it was the first real PDA :P). MPG does maintenance and other things as well, so I would suggest checking that app as well.

My phone is almost always with me, so its easy to record. I have history on all my cars going back 10+ years. So far, I only have 3K on our 2010 ZR 6M that we picked up in may with 2500 miles on the clock.

20.9 Average (23/18 max/min split)

Never have done a full tank on the HWY, but cruise with top down nets 25+. Top down motoring plus A/C will kill 1-2 MPG from drag but its worth it.

I get about 23-25 mpg. I do alot of interstate driving with my top down. I think the gas milage is very good. Happy motoring

Jeffblue · 05-11-2010, 11:07 AM

hey just some food for thought, both of my parents have infiniti G Sedans, my mom has a G37, my dad a g35, they each get around 18 on average. both automatic transmissions. my mom does almost only local driving, and has a really light foot, my dad does more highway, but has a heavy foot.

Zsteve · 05-11-2010, 02:09 PM

I am reading 22.3 on my meter and I have a slightly heavy foot but I do get alot of areas here in TX where I can cruise at a steady speed too.

Boosted Josh · 05-11-2010, 02:20 PM

It looks like I'm getting ~21-22. I've only had the car a couple weeks though so that number isn't based on a lot of miles.

My wife's EX35 gets about 21.

We both drive about 75% highway. I usually cruise at about 80.

Edit: 6-sp, touring, sport

Push370zzz · 05-11-2010, 02:33 PM

I get about 14 in the city, mostly 50mph quickly for about 1500ft at a time...

Doug&Michelle · 07-21-2011, 11:32 PM

About 22-23 7at.

Justin1686 · 05-11-2010, 09:50 PM

i do mostly stop and go travel where i am. and i get about 18.5 mpg on the reader and by calculating it on fill-up. this past fill-up tho which was mostly all highway, i got about 23mpg on calc.

i gotta say, i cant complain about the gas mileage with this car. not as good as my 4 cylinder camry that i used to own, but SO much better then my infiniti suv that i drive about 3 or 4 days a week.
