Mileage -- what are you getting

buddyZ · 06-02-2012, 02:12 PM

Im getting 255 miles per tank, what is my mpg? also what is reset?

scottIN · 06-02-2012, 03:29 PM

This was a 720 mile trip -a lot of it through the mountains (Indy to Charleston, SC). Thought it was pretty decent.

LakeShow · 06-02-2012, 04:18 PM

18-19 mostly city

tjlazer · 06-02-2012, 05:47 PM

silly question but whats the best way to measure MPG in the 370Z? Are you just using the onboard estimator?

best way is the old fashioned way: set your tripometer when you fill up, and divide miles by the amount of gallons at your next fill up.

onboard estimator seems relatively accurate though.

I get 21 mpg but I also have a GTM Super Charger

NickTurnon · 06-02-2012, 08:16 PM

45 minute commute to work everyday- so I see a lot of highway. But I usually get 26 MPG going 80 MPH. 28 Doing 70. & 29-30 Doing 60-65. I drove to California the other week and got 31 MPG for half the way there. I am not disappointed by the MPG at all. Hopefully with different mods, I might be able to make it better.

neat

DYNAZOR · 06-02-2012, 10:07 PM

24.6 average over 4500 miles, one 550 mile trip mostly highway.

danegrey · 06-04-2012, 03:15 PM

thanks for all the replies, it is interesting to see what the mpg is

Pauly · 06-04-2012, 03:32 PM

town / traffic = 21-22
55mph cruise = 31
70 mph interstate with hills 28

This is about what I can muster although I can inch closer to 30mpg if I pay attention while cruising at 70 and there are not to many hills.

I really feel like 6th (7th for the auto) should have been longer. I bet with a different final gear, 30+mpg highway cruise would be super easy to obtain.

I'm pulling 22 average doing 75% city driving. Since my typical drive goes over a freeway, that's probably a lot of the extra mileage there.

Someone noted doing 32 mpg on mostly highway. I'm sure with a tailwind you might easily push 35, as aerodynamic the car might be.

Throw in drafting off another vehicle and I would bet you are right.

24.4 with a mix of town and highway over the last 2900 miles.
