Fuel Starvation poll

Felix 808 · 07-23-2013, 02:30 PM

I am curious to those who have experienced fuel starvation, what year your Z is. Manufactures often make changes without notification, like the steering lock, it just magically disappeared mid 2011 & then was recalled in about late 2012.

Anyway if you have experienced fuel starvation please list what year your Z is. I'm trying to capture info on if the newer Z's have suffered the same. I know driving styles & fuel levels vary between drivers, but just curious as to what years have suffered the most.

Thanks guys

I think having a running Z is sort of a requirement to experience it

Still wishing you well with that

Thats cause you drive around on A/S+

Not enough grip to get fuel cut. BTW A/S+ are getting replaced. Michelin just released the A/S3's. We got some shipped to us yesterday.

It isn't a year thing in all liklihood. Just the way it is.

Btw, people are F'ing with your poll, no way 2 2014 users are having fuel starve

kenchan · 07-23-2013, 03:22 PM

null.. no fuel starve issue.

Not a great poll as people's opinion of how they drive will differ greatly!! Only way is for everyone to pull their pumps and see if pics very.

There should be a section on the poll for never experienced fuel starvation. Personally I never have. I drive on low fuel all the time and drive my car hard.

kenchan · 07-23-2013, 04:36 PM

definitely making sure not to buy them 2014's...
