Terrible Gas Mileage!! 13 MPG??!!
Hi guys! About 6 months ago I bought my 2006 G35 Sedan, and I absolutely love it! I bought it with 19 inch coupe wheels, lowered on Eibach Pro Kit Springs, a CAI (WITH the all important heat shield so that it isnt a HAI ), and it has some form of a sport exhaust on it. It has everything I would've done to the car already on it, and I paid a very reasonable price for the car.
Now for the problems... the main one being my atrocious MPG. I AVERAGE... get ready for this... 13 MPG, SOMETIMES 14 or 15... with mixed city and highway driving. I do not drive like a lunatic. There are new tires on the car with the correct PSI. It has been professionally aligned. Recent fully synthetic oil change. It runs great! It doesn't smell like fuel, so I dont *think* that its running rich.
Any ideas before I take it to my mechanic to see what the deal is??

Having owned both a 06 G35 6 speed manual and my present 2012 G37S my MPG on road trips is very similar.
A round trip from NJ to Florida this past April
Short trips in Florida are clearly reflected.

You should probably confirm what other modifications have been done to the car...and check on those spark plugs or maybe your O2 sensors. How many miles are on the car?
I have a 2005 G35x (AWD) with 100k on the original motor/transmission and I regularly get 14+ MPG via nearly only city driving. I just got 22+ MPG on the highway with the AC on and some traffic. With that in mind - you should be getting better mileage than that if you're not smashing the skinny pedal.
