gas mileage

6spd · 06-05-2014, 12:21 PM

When I had my 09 manual/sport/base w/ nismo exhaust and injen intakes, I averaged 22-23 driving pretty aggressively. One trip to NC from Florida, I averaged 27-28 highway at 80mph and got almost 500 miles to a tank. With my '13 auto, I got about 20 combined. With my new '14 sport/manual, I'm getting 21-22 combined but its still got less than 1k miles on it. The best average I ever got was when I was modded.

Plus 1 more reason for mods!

When my gas tank get empty, I fill it up. Other than that, I don't worry about my mileage status. If I was that worried about gas mileage, I'd be driving something different.

Totally agree with you. Just by going to a true dual exhaust has increased 2 to 3 more miles per gallon on my Z. I'm averaging 23 on my commute back and forth to work and 27+ on road trips plus picked up a few ponies along the way. Best mod for me thus far!

Exactly right.
2009 6MT - still have it.....all breather bolt ons you can get.
My mileage got better after the mods.

I will drink fuel like water after a while with stop start heavy foot driving.

Occasional long drives constant speed will drop the fuel consumption and even things out. Make an afternoon of it 200 miles will do wonders.
