370Z highway mileage?

mayday813 · 11-23-2014, 09:51 PM

Drove 1,431 miles and averaged mpg 26.7 using calculated mileage not the computer. Mostly interstate driving speeds running about 75 mph. A/C on a good portion of the way. In town 19 to 22 mpg depending on traffic. 40,000 miles on the vehicle. Six speed models have a 3.69 ratio rear end IMO the gas mileage is pretty good considering 332 hp.

That's more like it.
If guys are realistically pulling around 26 mpg or thereabouts on US gallons, it puts Nissan's numbers about right at 32, 33-ish for an Imperial gallon. That was a number I figured I was able to live with before I bought my 370.
Now I just have to do all my driving in the U.S.

How off was the computer from your calculated? I've seen 28mpg on my computer didn't realize that would be off.
