im calling you out on your BS mpg numbers

i have the 6MT 370z and if i drive like a granny, i get close to 20mpg average(27 if i drive all highway)
heck even gunning it most of the time, the worse i will get is 15(and thats literally gunning it all the fricken time, running it to redline, ect.)

you literally have to be pumping 18 gallons into your car every 216 miles and i refuse to believe that unless something was really wrong with your car(like a bad O2 sensor or vacuum leak)

Should i let you know next time im in San Diego and show you in person? Ill let you smash around in the car and watch the dots disappear every 10-12 miles.

I really want to know if something is wrong with the car

Take it to a dealershit and tell them you get 10-12 MPG?
Also, just because IT says you get 10-12 MPG doesn't mean you actually get 10-12 MPG

Did you have Frontier engine swap in your z???

Well... If you are not trolling then something is wrong with your car. Bring it to the dealership and let them diagnose it.

when you are down in SD please HMU

we can go to tacos and tuners or some other meet and ask the other Z owners what they think

like i said, if i gun my car at every light and drive like a wannabe honda raceboy, i will get 15mpg at the worst, i usually average 20mpg and more if i do more highway driving

have you tried resetting the MPG gauge?
i know the last time i went on a road trip(out to Ocotillo CA) i reset the MPG gauge(probably a placebo) and i got around 35mpg driving like a grandma(lots of drafting and coasting in neutral down the steep declines)

Everyone that I see drive the Z loves it and they are never below 20mpg and some of them drive like dicks. I still love the Z I get 21-24 mpg I think. Still love it no matter what the mpg is
