370Z fuel economy

Crash

I'd never force-fill the tank, but aside from that, that's the same way I get my mpg. Some tanks don't need to force-fill. The pressure builds up the same in the tank assuming A) You're on a level ground and B) It's the same temperature outside. But the changes aren't enough to throw the mileage off enough to be seriously noticeable.

The pumps stop when a certain pressure has been reached in the tank. If it's off from pump to pump, it won't be more than 1/10th of a gallon which isn't enough to throw off the calculations that much. It's reasonable to say that your MPG is +/- 0.2 MPG.

Also, you should never top off your tank:
Topping Off

Like I said......I have been doing this for years.........with no problems...........And a gas pump cuts off when the gas backs up and cuts the nozzle and if you would try what I posted, you would see that you can get AT LEAST 2 more gallons in your tank.

The Enzo is driven very rarely, it is an investment that I got for a steal........and plan on making enough on it to buy several Zs, although I will get only one of course...the less miles on it , the more it will be worth...I had a 240Z before most of you were born, and I havent had one since that, but I love them because of the way they HANDLE ........I am not interested in a GT-R because I dont want a car that is not a RWD

The SR-71 picture is because My son went to the United States Air Force Academy and had the privilege of flying them after he became a pilot.

You have one of the less than 400 Enzos in the world? It trades for over a million dollars on average.

Pics or

j/k


Edit: Thats how you bought one. Wow! http://usedcars.cardomain.com/cars/u...66704351297502

Depreciation is amazing in this economy! Crazy!

Hows the depreciation on the Z24 Cavalier?

^^^ LOL! Seriously. My old client bought his Enzo for $900K and sold it for $1.9Mil. He only bought it for SEMA to show off some of his wheels, then sold it about 6 months later. With low miles on it, it'd probably be worth about $1.5Mil even in this economy. I'd say that's worth enough to buy ALMOST 47 370zs at $32K/each.

I love those kit cars... LOL The only Enzo my 300zx can beat!

No, it doesn't cut off when the GAS backs up to the nozzle. It cuts off when too much pressure backs up to the nozzle. If it waited for the gas to back up, it'd spill over and cause a LOT of pressure to build up in the tank when you start the car. I'm not trying to tell you to stop, I'm just trying to tell you that I'm not going to waste my time "shaking" my car to see if my car's tank will fit 2 more gallons. That extra 2 gallons aren't worth chancing damage or spill-over to my car, and this isn't Road Warrior or Mad Max. There's a gas station a stones throw away from anywhere you are.

And I'd sure HOPE that they let your son fly the blackbird AFTER he became a pilot. That'd be pretty bad if they let him before hand. My uncle was obsessed with that jet. He was an engine mechanic in the USAF.

Is everyone on this forum an ******* ?

BanningZ

No but Saying that you are selling an Enzo to buy a 370Z is a little far fetched don't you think?

Btw don't generalize people. This is a forum made up of Z enthusiasts that are very friendly and helpful when it comes to useful information. Most people here have a great sense of humor. It is difficult to hear innotaion in pitch when someone replies to a post.

Do not get all bent out of shape from a few jabs. People wouldn't respond at all if they really were jerks, they would just ignore you. Remember, this is the intertubes.

Now from personal experience, I have made stupid posts and people have called me out but its all in good fun. Learn from information that others provide. One upmanship is not needed on the internet because there is always someone with a better car and more knowledge than you or me.

Take it all with a grain of salt.

In actuality if you do have an Enzo, then good for you, you are one of 400 of the luckiest people on the planet to own one.

Cheers!
