What's your average MPG for your 370z?

JZNx

can you ever reset these? or how do they work? l

Hold down the left button for a couple seconds while you are viewing the mpg screen. Just like a trip odometer.

I know this thread has been open for a while but just wanted to add my two cents. My mpg is 21.2 at 33 mph. I don't pay attention to the rpms when I shift, I pay attention to have fast I'm going. I shift from 1st to 2nd at 8mph, 2nd to 3rd at 16mph, 3rd to 4th at 25 mph, 4th to 5th at 28mph and 5th to 6th at 33mph. If I am ever going above 33 I'm always in 6th. Now that is about what I shift at. It works very well though. If you read your owners manual it gives you this very same info on page 5-19. It is the suggested up-shift sped for best fuel economy. And I do a lot of city driving with stop and go as I live in San Diego. Also my mpg used to be better but since I got my berk hfc and my berk exhaust my mpg has gone down to 21 as I love the sound my exhaust makes so I tend to really get on the gas more now then I did before. I hope this helps you out

I'm thinking you didn't need a Z unless you go to the track every weekend - a Miata would be just as fast with those shift points!

I get around 17 MPG with the 7AT when I shift manually (I'm only in 7 on the highway and rarely in 6) but it is better in A mode.

OTOH, my normal drive is a ten mile commute with a 65 highway section for a mile and mostly 35 MPH city the rest of the way, with a few trips to lunch at 40 - 50 MPH during the week.

You actually have it backwards, if you like short shifting you want a Z or higher. You know the Z has decent displacement. Lower shift points when not using the happy pedal make sense. No different then the 1-4 skip shift on the small block chevy: you can save fuel and you don't need to unleash the hounds between every light (though it is fun).

In a smaller displacement car, assuming similar gearing, you won't be able to short shift nearly as much, and 6th gear < 40 MPH will lug a Miata, but not a Z.

Both cars enjoy a good flogging : they are sports cars for a reason, and respond accordingly. You don't need either, you just want and enjoy them

95% city driving nets me 17mpg

UNKNOWN_370

During my brake in I received 18.9 as an overall average. I'm hoping for qa minimum of 20mpg's. That would be good performance for this amount of power. On my 09 I was getting 19.0.

23.0-23.5 for me

How do people get above 22 is beyond me...

This thread has me frustrated. I would have expected better mileage in a 332bhp V6 than with my 505hp V8. If I do decide to trade, I'm going to have to either prove you all wrong about how you a fail at hypermiling, or I am going to be very sad about that aspect of my purchase.

When I click my DIC in the Z06, it shows averages of 19-22mpg, with me seeing 26+mpg on the freeway for long drives, calculated manually.

I should think the 370Z could easily break 30mpg if you are gentle with her and not going up a slight gradient.

Why are you even considering a 370z when you already have a Z06?

ImportConvert

Several reasons.

-I am moving soon, and less note is more.
-I love the 370Z's interior.
-The 370Z handles very well, and 505hp and very tall gears lead to very illegal activity.
-Where I am moving, corners will be much more prevalent than straights. Both cars will be on nearly equal terms in such an environment, but the cost is NOT equal, nor are the interiors.
-I like change. I plan on driving a 370Z until the C7 corvette comes out, has been refined for 2-3 years, and then trading back into a 'vette.
-I learned that no matter how much power you have, you get used to it and it all feels the same.
-My experience at spring mountain taught me that I don't have the skill for it to matter. Myself and other students were falling behind the Camaro SS driving instructors in our ZR1's. Epic skill-fail. So basically, a driver like me, is going to have the same fun in the twisties in a 370Z as in a 'vette, whether you want to man up and admit it or not, I think at LEAST 85-90% of the owners of these kinds of vehicles fall in that class, as well (based on all the students and how they fared similarly).
-Did I mention that I love the 370Z's interior?

Unfortunately, it doesn't work out that way. The Corvette is a freak of nature with its excellent highway mileage. Of course with the 6spd gearing, it's only turning a couple thousand rpm on the highway. The Z turns a thousand rpm higher with its 6spd manual gearing. And of course the 'Vette has gobs of torque at any speed, but the Z needs some revs before it really pulls.

I've admired your threads/comments on the comparison, but gas mileage is one where the 'Vette is a clear winner. I've had my 370z for 2 years, and about 25,000 miles (don't drive it much in winter). I have taken quite a few long trips in mine, and best trip mileage I've seen is about 27mpg. My usual mileage per tank runs about 22mpg, unless I'm going for a track day when I get about 6-7mpg (autocrossing).

Hope this helps!

22-24 mpg 6MT when I am drafting.....19-21 mpg with my lead foot, which is most of the time.

a long slow trip to many cops that trip XD
