filled up my tank for the first time...

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..

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

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.

Yeah, the Smart car is a poor choice indeed.

My Z is getting the shyytiest mileage. I get 300miles on the tank period. To get good mileage I had to granny it to such a degree that I will either get shot for accelerating that slow or fall asleep behind the wheel. I'm due for my oil change and I will have them check everything to make sure their isn't anything wrong. I was getting 19mpg's from my 09 driving it like I stole something. Driving this Z moderately and its giving me 2mpg's less.

Are you boosted? Haha. That's probably what I get after getting turbos.

My normal city driving is about 19-22 MPG, and highway is around 22-24. With or without turbos, that's what you'll see for daily and casual spirited driving (short bursts of boost haha). Of course, MPG will be even lower if I constantly flog it in traffic. Everyone can tell my driving habits by looking at the exhaust tips.

Couple years ago I was having a trip and driving my 350z(at that time) to Boston from Toronto, so it is a 9 hours drive and I took off at around 12:00am so I'll arrive in the morning.

About half way I have to feed her so I stop by the service center and give her a full tank. So I fed her the gas and when the pump stopped, I saw the price on the display was almost $20 less than what I usually pay in Toronto.

I was like, "mmm.... the pump stops too early, it's not full yet......", since it is in gallon, so I have no idea how much gas I have put in because we use liter in Canada and it was 3am in the morning...

I tried to pump more gas in since I thought the tank wasn't full yet... then eventually realized the fuel price in US is just fricking cheap!!

LOL

that's because big oil is subsidized by our taxes...so we really are still paying more for it
