Basically off the light, I. Ultra-slowly get up to speed like an old fogey. I never sprint and I don't go over 60mph. It sux but it works. Lol.

f in normal driving you are getting 16mpg??? Then you might want to look into checking all your filters, make sure you have the proper oil and maybe have your AF ratio checked. That is crazy low for normal driving.

Ah thats the secret, I get off the line sometimes like a madman...I should ease out more often...

I thought it was low too. When I first brought the car home from the dealer, I was getting 18MPG all city driving. Then when I started modding it dropped down to 16MPG, sometimes to 14MPG if I have some fun.

My car has full bolt-ons, fully tuned, well maintained. I broke the engine in properly too. I just forget about it and have fun with it now.

I drive like a granny almost all the time. I know the Z's can be driven hard, I just like my car too much.

That's strange. With a tune you should be running at minimum close to stock mileage. Maybe the tune you have is race spec and very aggressive??? That may be why you saw a drop in gas?

I used to granny but I can't stay out of it now that I have the F.I. TDX.....love that sound!

My Z got +5 mpg average after break-in period or so. Anyone else?

Typically, cars start seeing better gas mileage after 5000 miles.
After next month, I'm off the granny wagon and back on the fast lane. :)

You'll also see better mpg come warmer weather. This winter blend is the sh!ts for for economy.

Interesting to note; My motorcycle gets upward of 38-40 mpg during the summer (ridden aggressively). Yet once it starts getting cooler/colder (40's/50's), my mpg can drop to low 30's and even upper 20's (not ridden so aggressively). Depending on how the vehicle is tuned, some engines are more/less efficient during warmer ambient temps.

ymmv (literally).

From about 55-88 degrees is when I get optimum mileage. Anything higher or lower and the weather kills the mileage.

I get 24.8mpg every tank. Lots of 60-70 on the hwy every day, I nail it whenever no slow arses are in the way.

I think it may have to do with the fueling for low temps, engine is richer when at lower temp, takes longer to warm up.

IMHO grannyin' the z is blasphemy!!!:driving:

:iagree:
