370Z highway mileage?

mishuko · 12-19-2014, 06:59 AM

my mileage went down after i put the gen 3's in... like high teens-20's... to like... 15ish.

anyways... shouldn't this thread be locked now that gas is cheaper?

like almost 20 bucks cheaper for a half tank :O

I drive it every day and I still DGAF. Especially with gas prices dropping like they have been recently.

Back in July, I took a road trip from Suwanee, GA to Hood River, OR and back. It was a total of 7,312 miles and I averaged 24.9 mpg.

that's some driving right there. you should get a cdl

mishuko · 12-19-2014, 09:40 AM

seriously... when i drive i rev to atleast 4.5k in first and 2nd. fk it!

and when i want to have a bit of 'spirit' it's going above 6.

and then i like to hang the rpm high for a bit to listen to the music... in fact i down shift and sit in 2nd going through tunnels just because.

With full breather mods the computer is telling me 21.8mpg average. On the highway with no traffic and on straight sections the instant read will tell me around 30mpg (there's no readout for 30, it just sits between 20 and 40 and I assume it's a linear). This is the only way I figure people are saying they're getting 30 mpg.

The 21.8mpg is from almost ALL highway driving to and from work. If I drive any extended period in local traffic I'm down to about 19-20.

Filling up at the pump has shown these readings are fairly accurate. It's been a while but I THINK when I first purchased the car I was getting higher averages, but I believe it's normal to drop a few mpg when you put on breather mods. Higher air density needs more gas to balance it out to create more power and produce a more efficient explosion.

I average 27MPG. I travel 50 miles a day, 18 of those miles are mountain back roads going between 35-50MPH. The rest are highway miles with a few slight hills. The last check I did on the interstate, I averaged about 32-34MPG.
