I hate to say it and be "that guy", but if you bought your g35 for fuel economy, you bought the wrong car. It's just not very efficient. My previous v8 mustang GT actually got better fuel economy than my G35.

I dont think it will take 13 MPG for that, also usually the time is more like 25 min but sometime it take more, last week not that much traffic, i dont waste time on light, I am driving on road with max limit of 50km, but the rpm is around 1000-1500 most of the time.

I am pretty sure the car sensor are going bad or something along that line...

I can do better with my previous jeep grand cherokee v8 lol

31.2 MPG seems very high.

You really gotta do the fillup method and get your MPG based on that.

I updated my screen, I will have more sensors and removed the bad display, tonight i will have better infos, including average mpg/l100km also with correct o2 sensors

Its hard to take a screenshot when you drive, screenshot on android is not really working well...

I just discovered that my MPG was not in US but imperial unit, so tonight I will get the real numbers

Service engine light isnt on. had the spark plugs replaced with new titanium tipped spark plugs, replaced the air filter, and i put premium Chevron gasoline. any recommendations you guys may have would be greatly appreciated. Engine Oil has been changed recently(when i bought it) and on a side note i drive it lightly, not lead footed at all. thanks in advance

This is EXACTLY what im experiencing and its killing my wallet

I used to have a 50 mile highway commute each way. I found that I got better mileage with mid-grade gas cruising at 65-70 mph, about 22mpg with my G35x. 13-14 mpg around town max.
