I just purchased another 370z NISMO 2014, im averaging low 17.6 mph, and a fill up shows 310 miles to the tank. A friend mentioned to disconnect my battery overnight, to let everything re-set and compute for altitude changes from Clovis NM 4,295ft to Albuquerque 5,355Ft. Does this make sense ? and are there any dangers to disconnecting battery ? other than having to reset clock, garage opener etc.. Thanks for suggestions and help

I'm in Albuquerque too with a 13 nismo, but my numbers are significantly different. 379 range on fill up, 20.1 mpg with 19.4 mph. And by no means do I ever granny it lol. I want to know if its my UPREV econ mode at work so please post your results after you reset it.

If 21 is all you guys are getting on the highway, how in the heck did the government rate these cars at 26 highway? Being pushed? I thought the EPA was more accurate.

MPG is honestly the last thing on my mind with my Z. At least I do better than my wife's Armada

All of my driving is in city and I'm lucky to get 16

If it's all highway, then I can push that 26, even 28 - well, before my exhaust. I'd assume it's about 23/24 now with the exhaust/HFCs. Haven't done one in a while, but I did see an avg drop in mpg after the install, and it's been consistent for a year.
