filled up my tank for the first time...

Definitely will have to get used to that.... Haha

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...

m4a1mustang · 03-09-2012, 08:27 AM

Still breaking the car in?

When I had my Z I'd average ~19-20 mpg with a mostly city commute.

I do more highway driving than city commuting so I average between 24 and 25. Still have to fill up every week though.

Still in break-in, but I am seeing mid 24's at 75mph on the freeway with AC on. Kind-of disappointing, and hope it increases to at LEAST what my Z06 got. Not that you buy a car like this for that, but you know, 505bhp vs. 332, one would hope...

During break in, I too got low MPG's. It went up after a few thousand miles, and on the highway, I now get 26, and the city is around 19.

Off topic, but aren't the LS-series motors in the Corvette notoriously good on highway mpg? Something to do with the really tall 6th gear and how little load the engine has due to the massive amount of torque it produces.

It should improve some up to around 25-26 if you are running 75. Can probably eek out mid 26 if you really watch your driving, but that is a lot of work.

As for how it will compare to the ZO6, I think they should be fairly close in fuel efficiency, but I am strickly talking from my gut on that one.

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?

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.

I did my first fill-up yesterday as well! Filled it up at 301 miles with 13 gallons. Still breaking the car in!

You must be driving it hard!

f00d4tehg0dz · 03-09-2012, 08:42 AM

Gotcha. Yeah unfortunately its a lot of city driving for me in Tampa. Knew it would be bad gas mileage. But if its going to get better overtime, works for me then!

edit* sorry didn't realize the picture didn't show in my post originally.

nepali · 03-09-2012, 08:45 AM

Btw, my mpg is with stop-n-go 18 mile-trip (one way) on the higway.

XwChriswX · 03-09-2012, 09:29 AM

In my almost 2 years of ownership, I've never reset my avg mpg, and I'm sitting at 22.

Lots of highway and city driving. (33k to be exact)
