Gas Mileage ( 20% Hwy, 80% City) M6

Troyz · 10-23-2013, 01:37 PM

I been trying to drive a bit conservatively since the last fill up to see if the gas Mileage would get better. My car said 20.1MPG. By my calculations, I got 19.3. Anyone getting similar gas mileage? (Mostly City M6)

I filled up last night a reset the Gas Mileage and Trip OD to try this again.

I am bone stock.

That was about what I saw when the car was stock.

Same ball park for me too on both my old and current 370Z.

If you did nothing but highway it might be a bit higher, but that range sounds normal for mostly city and some highway driving.

90% City, I average 16MPG. Moderately modded with tune and 7AT. I always felt my MPG was low.

Minsu · 10-23-2013, 02:20 PM

im about 90% city and 10 highway i average 14.5 no matter how many times i reset.

kidkotic2001 · 10-23-2013, 02:53 PM

that sounds about right I usually do about 16.5.

Crazy. I traded my 2009 RX8 (which was giving me 13/14 in city, 18 on highway) for a Miata that gave me 22 in City, 30 on highway and now I am back to a stock base 370Z and have yet to fill up tank but you guys are saying it is really low. I thought it was 18-26.

I'm getting ~20mpg 60%city40%hwy on my 2014 w/ 7AT w/ under 1000 miles on the clock.

10MPlayer · 10-23-2013, 03:31 PM

Mostly city here. 90%. And by city I mean 3 mi to work and 3 mi back on pretty much residential streets. I get about 16-18 mpg.

TerribleONE · 10-23-2013, 03:34 PM

Who buys this car concerned about MPG's..?

Its meant to be fun to drive! I have never hand calculated mine because im not very concerned about it, however I would get about 16-18MPG on the trip computer before the TTs.. now it hangs around 14-15 with mostly city driving. So damn hard to stay out of boost

mag_black · 10-23-2013, 03:43 PM

I avg 21 and I drive 50 miles highway round trip, to and from work. I use cruise control a lot, because it helps keep my heavy foot off the gas.

Justice97 · 10-23-2013, 03:49 PM

90% city 3.8 mi to work and 3.8 back been stuck at 17.8 for a while

enkei2k · 10-23-2013, 04:00 PM

100% city. I believe I get around 14.4 MPG according to computer.

with K&N Drop in filters and aftermarket subwoofer + sound deadening (+ weight)

zeeder · 10-23-2013, 04:42 PM

According to Gas Cubby I've averaged 17.7 mpg over about 3700 miles. On a per tank basis I can fluctuate from high 15's to low 19's. I drive about 85% city as well. I think if I lost some weight my mileage would improve lol.

Mt Tam I am · 10-23-2013, 04:47 PM

I usaually run about 12-15 MPG. Maybe 10% freeway. So this means I have two extra gears for the most part. They only get used on a trip to the track.
