Fuel Economy
Hey all I was just wondering what kind fuel economy you get out of Z.
When driving on the highway I noticed I get around 22-25.4 mpg on the meter driving on the highway. That is low in my opinion when the car is rated at 26mpg. Do you have any tips on how to improve fuel economy on city and highway driving?? I also notice that once i take the car past 80mph and keep applying the gas there is a very subtle kinda like a whistling sound (almost like the sound of a commercial plane revving up to fly but quieter) from the engine is that normal??? |

I am going to blame your location for the poor gas mileage.

I have no clue what you mean by the whistling sound. Maybe it's air thats hitting your side mirrors at 80+ mph?

Do you hear any hissing noise at all in ur smurf mobile AK? sounds kinda like an electric motor in an electric car revving every time you apply gas past 80mph. you have to shut off the radio and close the windows to hear it lol |

I have no idea what this whistling noise is though. But for the record, I get about 27 mpg with a mix of stop and go traffic / freeway. |

I have gotten 26.3mpg with an average speed of 72mph. Mixed driving has been closer to 20. I'm sure once my Berk CBE gets installed it'll be closer to 16.

Just drove from suburban PGH to suburban Washington DC and back---almost all gentle highway cruising. Air was on much of the trip, 2 passengers w light luggage load. With cruise control set to an almost constant 67 mph (except for road construction areas), my 7speed automatic (now nicely broken in at 3490 miles) got me 30.9 mpg, door to door. I'm very pleased.

We get 32+ mpg cruising at an average 63 mph on a 2010 7AT. It helps being in manual mode, though, so it stays in 7th gear with full lock up 100% of the time.

i use the gas cubby ap for iphone. you enter your mileage of your car every fill up, and how many gallons /cost per gallon and some other info. long story short it tells you your avg fuel eceonomy overall. i get 19.1 with 50/50 city/highway. i'm content with that. my altima i got 24 mpg overall. 5 mpg less for much better performance and all around car. the way i see it is. if i have a car that slurps 93 octane gas i shouldn't be overly concerned with mpg.
