Why are you comparing two different vehicles? Are they geared the same? Are they tuned the same? Does he shift at 4k rpm?

if it makes you feel any better, my G35C gets about 13-15mpg on my daily commute. in bumper to bumper and low speed traffic, that's pretty normal for these cars. once i start hitting hwy then i can get about 18-20mpg. my Z gets about 19-22 average depnding on how i drive on the weekends (very light traffic)

It does make me feel better, lol. but, yea, I just want to make sure if there is anything wrong with my new car, so it sounds like it is normal, I will live with that

I know a 370z is not for MPG. so at what RPM u guys usually shift while normal driving? below 3k?

my car is MT and usually shift 1st around 4K, 2nd maybe 3500, then around 3k after that. it really depends on traffic and the kind of mood i am in. crusing rpm is 1500-2500 depending on if im going up a grade or not.

and yah, i too prefer to enjoy my drive than worry about mpg on my cars.
