i always thought i was getting like 18mpg cause i'm at the gas pump so often, but i decided to check it the other week and it read 23mpg... i was quite surprised that i was getting this much and no i don't baby the car nor do i abuse it all the time.

Could not agree more

Just got back from a trip to Missouri and got 27.2 mpg on the interstate going 75 mph and with the air on.

More importantly, what is your GPM? Glances (at your Z) Per Mile?

Roddy1 07-23-2014 01:09 PM

19mpg on average. My bolted LSX DD gets 21 on average, only because the LSX was touched by the hands of god, or a god, I cant remember which right now.

I got 27.5 mpg @ 70 mph when driving from SoCal to NorCal on I-5. But around town I get about 17 ish. I get about 26 mpg @ 65 when I drive a hour for my autox events with all my crap-ola in the back and front seat. So extra weight plays a part too.

Hahaha once again.. I know i've said this before but the original reason of this post wasn't to start another mundane MPG thread or to complain about the Z's MPG.



When I previously owned my 2004 Nissan 350z I had a friend who owned a Ford mustang GT and we both lived near each other and did around the same amount of highway/city driving, and we almost averaged the same MPG.

So with the Z i went through a ton of gas, because I always loved to rev it out, and drive it aggressively. With my Shelby, i have really long gearing and really can't rev past 3000 without things getting too crazy... I'm guessing I'd get between 10-14 mpg in each car, the Z has a much larger tank though which i still really can't figure out.

Lets keep this OT party going! I got 6.5mpg at a track day a few weeks back. Yes I reset the trip computer for on track runs because racecar. 76mph avg @ Summit Point Main on RE-11s - not too shabby for first track day in the Z.

UNKNOWN_370 07-24-2014 11:23 AM
