Gas mileage I noticed in my new Z
 

I took a trip with my new 2010 370Z the other day. Only about 500 miles on the car. Tried to vary the speed a bit since it was in the break-in period but it was on the highway so I couldn't do too much.

Anyway, I averaged 69.2MPH and if the indicator is right, got 29.1 MPG.

Now, for a car that isn't even broken in, traveling right at 70MPH, with the AC going, that's pretty darn good!

I bet with a little break in here, a change to synthetic there, and maybe an upgraded intake (Stillen I suppose) this thing could make 30MPG on the highway.

Not too shabby. :)

Thats normal mpg on the highway

Pretty normal hwy mpg during break-in. It will get lower mpg than that after 5k miles or so.

My group was averaging 32 MPG going and coming to ZdayZ. We were doing the Speed Limit.

That must be why I never see more than 26mpg :driving:

wow that's good man. I don't think I have ever gotten more than 16-20 MPG. I tend to shift very high :driving: and the new exhaust doesn't help either :shakes head:

Papo is talking about the fuel consumption calculator reading as a real time calculation while on the highway after a reset once up to speed. I bought my 370 this time last month. Its a daily driver... I routinely see even up to 33mpg on the way to work, 63 mph in 6th, cruise control set. I chuckle inwardly knowing the better I do on the freeway, is merely offsetting losses I'll see on the streets... Its a little game that plays out daily in my head... Whatever it takes to drive past just one more BP. :)

Im averaging about 21 MPG city and highway and leadfoot.

21 mpg? I couldn't get 21 mpg if I pushed my car down the road.

try driving on the highway for like 20-30 miles first, then go to the city and it wont lower at all. I dont think it is accurate at all. You could floor it everywhere in the city and drive a little highway mileage and it would still be over 20

I think the AT helps MGP when not running the car hard as the car shifts very early when in D mode.

speed limit
 

I just got the car, but this will be the problem.

70 feels like I'm crawling...

every day is X-mas

a Z is in my garage!

:)

damn... is that an old lady driving Z?

how do u get ur average mpg as somewhere up to 25?

i wonder... :p

My '04 Z averages 25 (city and highway driving, combined--AT, BTW). That's great.

I second that AK... The exhaust makes me lose mpg because it sounds so lovely for our "ladies" right past 3500 to 4000 for that sweet note :p

MPG street is 19-21 this is putting it around town
Freeway is 24-26 depending on speed Avg is about 70 to 80
