Ok so i just filled up... What i did was waited until the gas light turned on and headed to a gas station, put $64.39 in the tank that was 15.401 gallons. I waited until the gas light came back on and the difference in mileage was 224 miles so my original estimate was way off, but still... Is 14.5 MPG normal or should i take it to Infiniti and get it inspected?

You really are bad at math... And common sense. You can't use the number of gallons you put in BEFORE you drove it.. You have to fill it up so you have a clean start, then set the trip meter (starting at zero) and drive until you need gas. When you fill up divide the number you see on the trip meter by the number of gallons you put in the tank, making sure you fill it all the way up again. Your phone should have an icon on it that looks like a little calculator, that will help you do the advanced mathematical calculations this process requires

How can you accurately estimate your MPG if you don't measure the actual amount of gas you put in the tank vs the mileage you drove? Saying "I waited till the light came on and the last time the light came on it took X amount of gallons so it must have taken X amount of gallons again" just doesn't cut it.
