Fuel Economy

i use the gas cubby ap for iphone. you enter your mileage of your car every fill up, and how many gallons /cost per gallon and some other info. long story short it tells you your avg fuel eceonomy overall. i get 19.1 with 50/50 city/highway. i'm content with that. my altima i got 24 mpg overall. 5 mpg less for much better performance and all around car. the way i see it is. if i have a car that slurps 93 octane gas i shouldn't be overly concerned with mpg.

I never saw above 16 mpg unless I was on the highway. Even then, I was lucky to see 21 mpg.

If you're getting 20+ mpg around in the city, you should have bought a Buick instead, because you're certainly not getting any use out of the Z.

If you want to see real data, check out Fuelly:

Browse All Nissan 370Zs | Fuelly

Its a website where you can key in your fill ups and it runs the stats for you. The cool thing is though, you can browse all of the cars and motorcycles on the site.

Mine doesn't show up yet in the general list because I only have two fillups in the Z thus far:

cool site whiplash thx for that. I can never run 65-69 on the highway lol its gotta be at least 80 and above that probably explains the low gas mileage :P and a couple speeding tickets haha

I average around 24mpg highway driving from FL up to GA and thats not bad at all in retrospect and around 20.9 city with stop and go traffic
