Modded G's what's your GAS MILEAGE ON A FULL TANK?
I call BS on that one! No way you can get that much on our VQ no matter what rpm you shift. LOL
That's not true at all. Before I did any mods I consistently got 425-450 a tank and even now I still get 400 after doing all my mods.
in japan their 91-93 is equiv to our 87-89 oct. i went out with my 05 sedan with grubbs performance for their track day and they run 87 in their race g coupe
i have a 05 sedan bone stock and if i pack it full i can make it from euless texas to just east of little rock arkansas thats about 410 miles on a tank..... i actually did this during thanksgiving 08
03 6mt
borla exhaust, 5/16" spacer, z tube, 245/40-18 front and 275/40-18 rear (in case the tire size throws off mileage), full stereo with custom box and audiobahn aw1000 10 with 1500 watts on it in the trunk.
Last tank was 24.5 mpg. I'm over 300 miles and not quite to the 1/4 tank mark yet. I do'nt drive like a grandma, but i don't do burnouts or race from stoplight to stoplight like some of those teenagers. probably a 50/50 of country roads to work (the back way to the hospital) and city driving this past month finishing up my second bachelor's degree at the univeristy.
just adding that here probably next week i'll have my vortech, injectors, headers, test pipes, and ecu installed. We'll see what my gas mileage does then. Hopefully I can get into the shop and find time since this stuff has been sitting for a few months in my garage.

r u the orig owner of your g??? if not you might want to reset your ecu by unhooking the battery... your ecu will adjust to your driving habits with shift points etc....
i can get all the way from euless to just west of memphis tn on a tank of 87 kroger gas.. actually the 91-93 that the gas door has on it is from japan...
Really? 400+ wow, maybe ill try to reset the ECU, i did buy it used.
im typically getting 350+ after a fresh oil change, could probably done 400+ but didnt push it.LOL that was all freeway
nowadays, i get 4gallons - city avg. 50+ then the light goes on, if its mix, i say 70-80, i dont LIGHT to Light race drive either...but i do have 20s on, im avg city 15+-mpg
and CAN the PRE-05 VQs really run on 87-89???? i know my EX had a 98 QX4 w da VQ35 in it and she ran 87 after she became a broke-***, couldn't afford 91, and it ran fine.
interesting....
if your getting less than 275 per tank, get a tune up, fresh oil change, air filter, plugs, itll be worth it, rather than dumping money at the tank..
