Q: Fuel Economy
So as you all can tell im pritty new here, I just bought a G 35 Coupe AT and i was wondering if around 120-150 miles highway per fill up is normal.
I traded in a BMW 323i e46 5MT for the AT and i am thinking that the MT to AT switch is why my gas consumption has been so different.
Now the bmw is supposed to have 18 / 26 and the g35 16 / 23 so its not much different.
Basically i am filling up 3 times per pay period (bi-weekly) now, but in my BMW it was 2 times per pay period. Is that normal or should i take it in to get checked?

P.S sorry if this problem has been addressed i did a quick search and did notice a thread a few threads down about a TSB with the fuel gauges but im not sure if that applies to me.

Definitely. My first tank I got 390km. Now I get about 470 with occasional racing around and more reasonable shifting. I could push 500+ if I didn't like driving this car a little wild every now and then.

Filled up yesterday and took pictures of my mileage and the amount of money i put in the tank, and i am going to do the same on next fill up and do the math. I put about 15.4 gallons in ($64.33)... Ill update it in a few days with how many miles i have put in her.
About the lead foot... yes i suppose i do.
