bahhh 300 miles from a full 19 gal tank isn't so bad... although i wasn't impressed. Do you rev it up high once in a while? or is this the result from revving 3000 and below only?

Either way it cant be worse then american cars...:p
3.7 v6 engine from an American car would probably be at the most 200 and average 150 compared to the Z's 300 average. :rolleyes: This is how I make myself feel better.:icon17:

thats low...i ran my gas till it blinked empty and filled it all the way up...ran it again till empty. I got 472 miles. thats all highway miles avg of 80-90mph.

eehhhh??? So once you fill it normally, then shake it, where does the gas you have already pumped go?

The gas that you have already pumped sucks in a lot of air and the gas that you have pumped, of course goes in your tank........

When you fill your tank....there is a lot of air that is trapped in your tank and it goes to the top of the gas tank...... this is what can cause condensation in cold weather.....and you dont have to shake the car.......lol.....but it does help to shake the car because it helps work the air out of your tank faster.........

472 miles % 19 gallons = 24.8 mpg...(little smiley making fun of above post)

Did you mean the post above or the one above that...?

trema 02-17-2009 07:34 PM
/sigh... what I meant was to point out that your post seemed to unfairly belittle Ssqpolo's comment. So, if I'm mistaken about your intentions, I apologize... it's either the grammer or the math... not sure which needs work.

FERRARI 02-17-2009 07:42 PM
No need to apologize ..........but does he really thing that he could have gotten 80 MPG.......?

I think you misunderstood his statement. He said that he was averaging 80-90MPH NOT MPG.

ssqpolo 02-17-2009 10:07 PM
tks AK and Trema for defending me. yes its 80-90 Miles Per HOUR...but he will realize that soon enough. and quick question...is it a 19 gallon tank or 20

FERRARI 02-17-2009 10:18 PM
I apologize......I did read it wrong.......

ssqpolo 02-17-2009 10:27 PM
