I always try to keep my tank above 1/4 so I don't run out of fuel. I understand the concern but Nissan is not going to to jack Sh*t about it.

:iagree:

I always refuel at a 1/4 tank left. This way, if I have to make any extra trips or can't fill up immediately, I still have like 100 miles to do so.

You're kidding, right? :bowrofl:

Silly, just silly!

I get about 300 to 340 miles to the tank. So I fill up once I have driven somwhere around 250 miles. Or at 200 miles if I have driven like I stole something. Problem solved. It takes about .001% of brain power to make these calculations.
Some of you crack me up. What's really going on is you bought a sports car. You wanna drive it to the fumes, may it be due to rising gas prices or just tight with money? Gas is not lasting as long as you like and its pissing you off. So u wanna blame someone except yourself. Lmao.
If this was a serious issue? Something would have happened. This car has been around almost 3 years. Nissan has issued every tsb possible except for one that I would truly complain about which is the oil cooler. But I don't even want to get into that. I will just do that myself.
Let's pretend there is a fuel gauge issue??? Have you gone to a dealership to explain your situation? Have you checked for any fuel computer TSB's? Have you compared your experience to others?
I'm not suing nissan. Its the best non premium brand on the market in my opinion. The may not be the most feature rich but every car is extremely well built and reliable for the money. And almost every car is fun to drive in some capacity. The Z IS IMPECCABLE IN EVERY WAY.
Everybody in this country wants to sue. It kills me. Don't blame Mc Donalds cuz ur fat!! Blame yourself. Lol. If u r cheap on fuel. Buy a hybrid or something that mises gas.

fuel guage?!!? psshhh try oil consumption 4qt plus every 1k....

Yeah that I've heard complaints on but I haven't experienced that. Have you tried esther oil or a synthetic to see if it gets better. I've heard of owners that have gotten new engines under warranty when oil consumption is extreme. Do a search on oil consumption and find out what were the situations.

:icon18::tup:

prius- take your prius next time. those things go like 2000miles without a fill up, right? :tup:

I let it run bone dry....take it to the limit

Its even worse than that, my Z is gone, it got lemoned at the dealer. They would top it off and put tamper proof tape on it then bring it back in, massive oil consumption, regular, ester, didnt matter...she is gone

Dry boning FTW

:icon14:

sounds painful!

My favorite

dry boning= rape??:eekdance:

I feel sorry for you, but every make/model has its lemons.

Spray some QD on it man!

true, i loved my Z too! will always be a Z car guy...

I did notice that guage drops fast when that warning light is on

I think once I was at 52 kms alert left, drove maybe 15K highway, stopped for some candy at a corner store...turned her back on and it was like ---- lol.

more like the very peak of climax before she faints. :icon17:

:eek:

Wow, this thread has gone right to the gutters....

I agree with you that gas guage does fluctuate its reading drastically sometimes. But personally, for the most part it has been pretty good for me. In your case it was kind of a perfect storm. And I agree with others, you have to take some blame here.

Wow, I cannot believe you could complain about such an obvious mistake on your part...never believe any guage until you can prove it's validity.

Perhaps your guage is just one of a million.

I would never take a chance of running out of fuel especially in desolate places

Next time take a few extra minutes off and top off your tank.

A gauge that is off by a gallon/20miles, whatever. One that is off by 2 or 3 gallons? Give me a break. Heck, it doesn't even work when you are at the track unless you have more than 3/4 tank.

in all fairness though, if you punch the gas the car will obviously eat more gas and mpg to empty has no meaning. now consider weight in vehicle, driving conditions, etc.

Those are separate issues.

In case you missed the question, how much gas did you have to put in to fill up>?

Cossie, if you feel so strongly about it, why not initiate legal action yourself? Why ask someone else to do what you can do yourself?

he should go sue himself? :confused: :icon17: ;)

I think you misread my sentence, bud. :p

That lawsuit was ligitimate. The amount she was awarded, was not however.

McDonald's, in an effort to pinch every penny (at least that one store) was superheating old coffee that should have been changed out for fresh coffee in an effort to boost revenue by keeping and serving old coffee. It may seem like a small amount but over time and "billions and billions served", even small change turns big in a hurry. Anyway.. had the bish spilled fresh (normal temp) coffee in her lap, she might have gotten burned but most likely not to the extent that she did with the nuclear brew that hit her lap that morning. Did she deserve the 20 mil or whatever it was? No but just sayin...

A better example of frivolous lawsuit to use would be the one where that guy trespassed into that other dudes backyard in an effort to rob his place and got bit by the dog that was chained to the tree and sued the owner... and won. :icon14:

In my opinion the only valid beef is concerning the fuel starvation taking very hard right turns considering it happens with fuel level still pretty high. Otherwise its on you.

:icon14:

:ohsnap1:

Yep. It always drives me nuts when people reference that McD's lawsuit without understanding what actually happened.

:iagree: Grow up people. If the Z is so bad, why do you own one?

Well, it doesn't help that every coffee cup bears a "contents may be hot" warning, which is patently obvious to anyone who enjoys hot coffee.

The lawsuit itself may not have been frivolous, but the resultant disclaimers are silly.

Oh yeah... as far as this thread is concerned, the OP needs to learn about what constitutes a class action lawsuit. This doesn't even compute and in no way would a judge ever even hear such a matter.

Bodily harm or actual breaking a contract are usually in order just as a starting point...

Also, the fact that the temp of the MickyD coffee was identical to many of it's competitors AND the same as many home coffee makers on the market suggests the lady's lawer wwas very good at jury selection. :D
