Lyin' about gas mileage.

TongMan

I guess he was going off what the computer in his car tells him, which is inaccurate. People are stupid and tell lies all the time.

I averaged 36 cruising at 55mph on part of my way home from the dragon today. If you cruise at 55, you should do about the same.

He was likely exaggerating though.

It's possible. My z06 gets 26mpg on the highway, but if I go even slightly down hill it reads 29-30. The computer read 25.6 when I manually calculated 26.02, so if the 370z owners commute or the one time he measured it was a few degrees down hill I can see an honest 36 mpg. I measure my mileage coming and going over the same stretch of road to average out the UPS and downs for this reason.

Maybe can hit,but W/O Air con,window closed,tires pump to 40 psi,cruise control set at 55mph,no stopping...

GNS

36 miles per imperial gallon

Doesn't that mean you kind of drive your Z like a pussy though? I'm not sure I'd brag about what would have to be hypermiling a sports car. I just cracked 30 mpg for the first time ever on a 360 mile road trip, and that was doing 70 ish on cruise control. I can see 34 max if I was doing about 60

Lemers

If you guys were talkin about HP, he'd have 100+ more
1/4 miles a full second less
0 to 60 under 4 seconds

BLUF: he never comes in second to anyone.

There is ONLY ONE explanation possible:

Hambone1

Ooo, good point. I wonder if he has any VTEC stickers on the windshield, everyone knows those add about 50 hp and 10 mpg each

EazyD

This sh*t just went from mission impossible to mission freakin’ insanity.

People lie because they in general are idiots. Nowadays social interaction is a lost art. People do not know basics anymore. Simple stuff you learn in the cub scouts. Be Kind, Curtious, Clean..... forgot the rest. I deal with lying douchebags that just make **** up out of the blue..... Sad but you just cant argue or enlighten ingnorant people.

A momentary blip on the MPG read out or downhill only confuse the issue. MPG to me is determined by filling up the tank, driving a certain distance then refilling the tank, dividing, miles driven by gals used, determining the answer.

The only way I'd get 36 MPG is if I filled up twice and pretended it was only one fill up like the 350Z driver.

A little comment on our "Z" fuel tank,anybody noticed,after filling full tank,the 1st Q of petrol can go 180km,after that the level will drop quickly,so far the max i can go is about 550km,is our fuel tank,top part much bigger.??

NCSUPACK09

haha, yeah the first "dot" on my fuel gauge stays on for 50 miles, then the rest only stay on for 25 miles. That first 1/16th of the fuel tank must be twice as big as the rest
