Why would you make that assumption?

Z06 Mileage, on paper, is 15/24
370Z on paper is 18/26

How much higher than 24 do you expect it to be?

What is your guys avg mpg?

I ran out of gas at around 248 miles, so with filling up to 17 gallons I'm at around 14+ mpg...

Same day next year you might think this is record-breaking cheap.

wheee! · 03-09-2012, 01:40 PM

Or just fill up in Canada and realize what a great value you guys are getting!!!!

I drive in the city mostly and my 09 Z only gets 15mpg..its now got 20k miles on her.
I tried once during a full tank of gas to never give too much gas. drive as smooth as possible and let go of the gas padel as much as possible and only got 260 miles...SAD FACE..

I heard it could go up to 5 dollars a gallon this summer? At least here in Florida... ><
Still I'll stick through it over losing this car. But if I have to pay 6 dollars a gallon, I may trade this in and get a smart car

Get a hybrid, buying a smart car is not so smart.

I just filled mine up the other day for $67.
Good thing is I only fill the Z up once every month or so since I don't drive it that often. I have an Altima that fits daily driver duty.

nmjaxx9 · 03-09-2012, 02:42 PM

Thats about on average what I pay every 4-5 days.

For myself I am looking into getting a bike for around 5-7k. That has a much better chance of paying for itself than buying another vehicle.

f00d4tehg0dz · 03-09-2012, 02:54 PM

a bike wouldn't be a bad investment in the future if gas gets to crazy.

brucelidat · 03-09-2012, 05:23 PM

With a mix of city and highway as well as traffic on highway, I get about 21 on average. If it's mostly city, I'd be in the 80 -19 range probably. No traffic highway (drive from Vegas) got me 26.5. 9k+ miles so I'd say she's pretty broken in.

I got 26 out of my Z06, and 24 out of my 370Z, so far.

lol, well maybe your Z06 was a factory freak

But I also got better mileage after break-in period, so that might be your issue.
