Worst Fuel Mileage you ever got?

Mitco39 · 02-27-2013, 03:49 PM

With all these threads about trying to get the most fuel mileage out of their cars, lets flip it. Whats the worst mileage you ever got? say Distance per tank of fuel to keep it simple. I am wondering about the FI guys running a crap ton of power and using it at every light, haha.

Worst, 12.7 over the entire tank

In my Rental Maxima, 11.7, LOL

my G can only do about 14-15mpg when used as dd.

I had to disconnect the battery from my car and let the power drain while I was at the drift track at button willow which reset all my instruments. So for the rest of the day I was getting 4mpg while drifting.

So for about half a tank got 4mpg.

You're damn straight I do! As soon as I turn their Maxima on, I click the T/C and heated steering wheel buttons
It's easier to feel or know the limit of grip on a FWD car than the Z IMO, so I take it to that limit ALLLLLLLL the time

(Oh, yeah, I know... It's because of pricks like me that you shouldn't buy a rental car... My last Maxima that I owned was a rental, LOL, thank GOD for the extended warranty though)

I averaged about 280-300 miles per tank for about 2 months until I replaced an O2 sensor...

danegrey · 02-27-2013, 05:19 PM

Worse was last month 15.8.....

ShutokuZ · 02-27-2013, 06:11 PM

Still only getting ave of 15.2 mpg all city, but barely passed 2k on the odo.

Nailzs · 02-27-2013, 06:16 PM

19.5 at under 200 miles, currently 23.3 at under 2000 miles.

dP3NGU1N · 02-27-2013, 06:34 PM

Hmm, normal driving doing 21 but I'm mostly 60/40 highway/city.... If i'm feeling particularly rowdy I do 20 =\

JungleZ · 02-27-2013, 06:53 PM
