mpg....everything went better than expected!
 

im averaging 27.7 mpg. this seems insane to me. this is a combination of stop n go city traffic, highway and interstate. i took a trip to new orleans for the break in, but cleared it afterward, thinking it was because of highway miles. not so. my work commute, although mostly highway, has lots of heavy traffic city driving, and i am still at 27.7 after 3 days. 1150 on the odometer as of today. i drive a bit modestly i suppose, but i let her stretch her legs here and there where the road allows it, opening her up a bit. how are you all doing in the mpg department, and how does your driving style apply?

MPG meter is a wasted meter in a sports car IMO. If I'm getting over 20, then I'm not driving hard enough.

haha yea you're right. im being a p*ssy i guess. im sure it will go down now that the break in is over. (a period of usage arguably useless according to many)

What is your ave speed city and highway?
I only Ave. 19.5mpg but I occasionally rev it about 3.5-4.5K.
Hwy ave 70-80mph, city being in a rural area ave 50-60mph

I've always broken mine in like I'm going to drive them and never once had any issues doing that.

well i go around 65 on interstates, so i guess thats cheating a bit. sometimes even 60 if im not in a hurry or messing with pandora. people hate it, but at least i stay out of the left lane! i get it up around 4-4.5k rpm on a pass or on ramp, but usually just chilling.

only 4.5k? I'm well into 6k every time I drive.

I get like 28-29 highway and 19(ish) city which matches what nissan told me, so I'm happy.

My average will never be that high but nice!

i dont really care about mpg on my G or Z just as long as i get over 15 ave. if less than 15 for my kind of driving, chances are something's wrong with the ECU setting.

That MPG meter cant be trusted. Do it the old fashioned way. Divide the miles driven by gallons filled after a full tank. My 350 used to tell me I was getting close to 30 mpg when I was really getting 23ish.

A more accurate way to compare what everyone is getting is how many miles someone is able to get out of a full tank.

yah, on the tank to tank method 3 tanks average, i was doing 15mpg on my G as dd and now with warmer temps and i think non-oxygenated gas i am getting about 18-19mpg. on the Z, like i said, i dont care. :icon17:

agreed. using the old fashioned method, i get an average of 16-17mpg city and 23-24 mpg highway.

I have had cars that got as little as 8mpg (modded 03 cobra) and up to 32mpg on my recent 135i on the highway.

The Z has a decent sized gas tank so I fill up after about 440 miles and I average 27-28 mpg since during the week it's almost all highway mileage (70 per day).

:iagree: :tup:
