I guess some of you guys bought a sports car to granny it.

AMEN my man, im getting 14 mpg stock so when i see these 20 mpg numbers im pretty shocked.

I don't try to drive for good MPG, but I have tracked it using Fuelly since the very first fill-up. Now, 50 fill-ups and 11,500 miles later, my average is 22.9 MPG. I don't baby it, I just have a lot of highway between my house and the office.

Luv that 5-0 comment. Mahalo from HI

I just purchased another 370z NISMO 2014, im averaging low 17.6 mph, and a fill up shows 310 miles to the tank. A friend mentioned to disconnect my battery overnight, to let everything re-set and compute for altitude changes from Clovis NM 4,295ft to Albuquerque 5,355Ft. Does this make sense ? and are there any dangers to disconnecting battery ? other than having to reset clock, garage opener etc.. Thanks for suggestions and help

I'm in Albuquerque too with a 13 nismo, but my numbers are significantly different. 379 range on fill up, 20.1 mpg with 19.4 mph. And by no means do I ever granny it lol. I want to know if its my UPREV econ mode at work so please post your results after you reset it.

If 21 is all you guys are getting on the highway, how in the heck did the government rate these cars at 26 highway? Being pushed? I thought the EPA was more accurate.

If it's all highway, then I can push that 26, even 28 - well, before my exhaust. I'd assume it's about 23/24 now with the exhaust/HFCs. Haven't done one in a while, but I did see an avg drop in mpg after the install, and it's been consistent for a year.

great feedback.. I dont think I will do the battery disconnnect, will just wait. I did howerever try the start then off, then start a few times. Will see what happens. Im due for a fill up today. Seems like Im always at the pump with this Z vs my 2013 Z.

njobe89 · 06-05-2014, 08:58 AM

i have a 2013 and i'm still always at the pump lol, but granted i drive about 100+ miles a day

KMO-II · 06-05-2014, 08:58 AM

WOW, those are some great numbers. I get on mine here and there to and from work, 40miles round trip, im at 17.6 mpg, and fuel range at 320 miles tops.. ugh...

njobe89 · 06-05-2014, 09:00 AM

I would say too that changing all fluids to synthetic would help a smidge. I just hit 21.8! Yahoo!!!!
