Fuel Milage (or is that Kilometerage?)
 

I've only burned a tank and a half driving sorta tamely. I think the best I've seen is 15.8 l/100 km. Just curious what everyone else here in Canada is getting. This l/100 km is kinda weird to me even though I grew up with metric....

I thought you could change the setting the left side control panel?

Driving on the highway at about 115km/h, I got about 9.5L/100 km. I'm the same too however...I have grown up my entire life with the metric system but have no idea what a good L/100 km is...

I haven't seen a way to change from metric to miles but will keep looking if AK believes it is there.

Nissan Canada states that the 6MT gets 11.6L/100k city and 7.7L/100k Highway. Now in mpg that is 20 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. Thats pretty good because a Honda Accord coupe gets 21 mpg city and 34 highway.

Wow... not even close. I'd say with a tail wind but since the rear end is so areodynamic I doubt that would help... maybe downhill.... I suppose I should wait until I'm past the break in to even bother checking such things...

There is an option in the settings to switch to/from metric... but you can't do it while driving....

I think after the break in period it will improve.

If I may correct NXTAZEE, the rating in Canada for gas milage is 36 mpg = 7.7 l/100km for highway. I think you may have used 3.8l for a US gal in your conversion calculation vice 4.5l for an imp gal used in Canada.

On a long road trip yesterday I was getting consistent 8.2l/100km at 109kph with cruise control engaged. This would be 33mpg. On my first and only two fill ups I averaged 27mpg combined city/highway. The range function would indicate that I could travel 780km before my next fill up if it was all highway driving at 109kph over similar terrain.

15 L for 100 Km is pretty bad...that's like what 18 to 22 MPG......


EDIT: it's even worse 14.868894116166185 MPG ( U.S Gal)

Yes I used US gallons, as this is usually the one people use when relating to mpg.

Just realized it's my average milage since I got the car. I'll try the reset button tonight. Amazing what reading the manual will tell you. I don't usually refer to the manual unless there is a handful of bolts left over......

IDZRVIT when I was out in Halifax two months ago we drove out to Amherst - I saw seven radar traps on the way there - it was crazy. I guess you have to be careful where you open 'er up out there ;)

just after break in period, it's good to reset it......

The Mounties don't have much to do so they play with their radars, LOL. On a trip out to the valley and back yesterday, 400km return, I didn't even see a mountie! I opened up the Z to 180kph a couple of times. Awesome!

ok, i passed a cop on the highway.....he was parked in between the median openings.

i looked at him and the radar was on the dashboard and he was sleeping lol

Maybe in your neck of the woods but I'll stick to imperial gallons being a Canadian. Each to his own I guess.

Speaking of which I've notice an increase in the good weather/cop ratio. On my way home I got the flashing head lights from some old lady - lol - flashed her back and over the second hill the bike cops were hiding around the corner - nasty blighters ;) That little old lady saved me on a speeding ticket though for sure :)

You gotta love the nearly dead..................!!!!!!!!!!

OK IDZRVIT I've noticed an vast increase in your posts lately and I understand your pain. The constant drooling - the re-reading of the specs - downloading the owners manual, the wife asking if you are coming to bed or gonna spend all night on the internet drooling over your not-yet-car, etc, etc. You're so close to getting your car you can taste it.... hold on there bro you're almost there and I can tell you the wait is gonna be worth it!

I took delivery 22 May!!! Black on black M6. Glad I didn't go with the Genesis Coupe.

Hey IDZRVIT,

When did you order yours?

I thought you car was on order - did you get it already?

FricFrac, when are we going to see some pics of the car?

As soon as I get some free time. I've been dying to take some pics but we just moved into a new house so my main priority was getting enough junk out of the garage to get the new car (I'm thinking Zathina - toying with the name - gotta name the car right?) Building a shed to move the stuff out of the old garage so the renters can move in then I'm off to Ottawa/Toronto next week so there goes the next two weekends.... no time to play. Hopefully my exhaust/intakes will come in and get installed while I'm away though :)

I didn't need to order the car. I was looking for a red or black M6. Dealer had a black one on its way in by rail from Hongcouver. It took two weeks by rail to arrive in Halifax. I posted a couple of pics on the 'new owners' thread. Actually, it's my wife's car. Her treat from completing her six month tour over in the 'sandbox.'

Quick pic.... love the Turtle Ice wax - shiny ;)

Looks absolutely stunning. From those pics it looks like you got the charcoal interior.

That ice wax is soooo easy to use too!

Yea wanted the frost but the sales man who was going to do my custom order wasn't working there when I pulled the trigger. Looking for someone with frost who wants to trade for Charcoal :) Although the Charcoal is starting to grow on me...

I just filled up today:

625 Km's for $56.00. Gas was around 1.04(I think) So less then 10 cents a Km.

Not bad!!!

Wow - I'm getting just around 425 km for $70... but premium is around $1.20 here and I'm still going through my break in and I'm heavy on the accelleration with limited highway driving... getting around 18 mpg right now - better than the 15 or less I was getting...

i got 750kms on my first tank of gas. Mostly highway driving.

Ya, I do mostly highway driving and I just hit this morning 2,000 km's so I am still in the break in...

Well I finally got a highway run in. I'm at around 1000 Km on the odo. Got 28 MPG on a hilly highway - pretty good. I guess my lead foot will attribute to the 14 MPG in town...

FF, I consider that good gas milage for a 332HP car over hilly terrain. On another note, do you work at FMF Cape Breton?

Yup - EW in the Radar shop. You?

800 km on the car...getting like 13.9 per 100km. drive in town mostly and in the 4000rpm area

It will drop. The car gets decent mileage on the highway. I took it to Montreal on Mother's Day weekend and got 650 on 3/4 of a tank. I am now around 10.9 for the current comsumption.

Way to dig out a 2 years old thread jazz. Its exactly 2 years anniversary since its last post before you dig it back up.

Wow - and I thought my 10.8/100 was bad! And I'm no slouch on the acceleration. I could easily keep it in the 8's if I didn't drive it so hard. Butm I didn't buyit to baby it and get good gas mileage!

^^lol@Dizzy how could u baby such a thing...

After reading the thread though, I have to say I'm getting decent fuel mileage. Between 600-700km on a full tank with a good mix of highway and city.
