370z MPG VS V8

FPenvy · 07-21-2014, 11:02 AM

i get 20mpg at 90 on the highway. i'm cool with that.

Huck · 07-21-2014, 11:03 AM

I have a lot of bolt ons so my car breathes easily. At 55 in 6th I get around 30mpg. On a straight flat road I got stuck behind a semi going 45, I drafted behind him for a bit and got 44.7 mpg. It helps to be UpRev tuned though lol.

Gotta look good til the very end

PS - I don't care about my MPG either. It is what it is.

I gotta admit, for a v6, the 370z's gas mileage sucks. But for a 13 second car naturally aspirated, I suppose it's normal.

I say if you're getting better than 23 mpg, you're driving the car wrong.

Gas mileage is a major concern with cars like the 370Z. The typical owner is looking for a frugal, practical little easy-to-park runabout that holds a lot of groceries.

Direct Injection...

Ford makes good power and good MPG with their current engines because of DI. I would love to see what a DI 370 could put down. Plus, the gearing, as mentioned before.

The only time I calculated MPG in my '04 Cobra was when I filled up the first time. 18MPG... I could watch the fuel gauge drop on my daily commute. Easily 1/4 tank each way.

Maybe 2015 will finally bring us a hybrid 370Z.

Mitco39 · 07-21-2014, 12:31 PM

Ive actually found that the mileage goes up the faster you go on the Z. If anything it could benefit from a shorter set of gears. The car loves to go 90mph, above that it starts to drop off quite rapidly.

Yep in some the form of the bladeglider. Look at the rear

janglez · 07-21-2014, 12:38 PM

don't care what the mpg is...a viper only gets like 12/19 and i'd LOVE to have one...the z is not for economical driving...just my 2 cents...and no, i don't want change...LOL

Fuzzzy · 07-21-2014, 02:25 PM

Maybe I'm odd, but I've never been concerned about a vehicle's gas mileage, other than out of curiosity. If others are concerned, perhaps the guv'ment should require the manufacturers to disclose an approximation of what prospective buyer's should expect.

On the other hand, I have been concerned about the price of gas. But not enough to give me pause in buying a Z.

I got 26 mpg driving to Atlanta, not bad at all. ~65-70mph the whole way
