Was there ever any verdict on the fuel economy issues?

On the vehicle computer as well as math calculations distance traveled/gallons to fill up
I reset the vehicle computer on every fill up and keep a spreadsheet and also do the math on every fill up
Four fill ups from NJ to Florida 1230 miles. Two fill ups with local driving while in Florida and four fill ups on the return from Florida to NJ
These results were consistent with both my 2006 G35 6 speed and my 2012 G37S 6 speed. I only use regular 87 octane and no cruise control. Never drive more than 5 mph over the limit of 65 and 70 in some places. Tires 35 lbs when cold
Best mileage on a single tankful of regular last year was a fill up in Dillon, SC at a Loves Truck Stop to another Loves Truck Stop on I95 exit 104 in Virginia a distance of 296 miles and filled up with 10.441 gallons giving me 28.35 MPG. the next fill up in NJ at my local WaWa was 295 miles and took 10.529 gallons giving me 28.01 MPG.
On my next trip to Florida I'll see what kind of MPG I'll get with my newly acquired 2016 Q70

My question was for the OP but since you responded, does the vehicle computer match your math (or 'close enough') ?

An update!
I've had my Q70 for almost two months now. Only local driving with short trips and my MPG with the Q70 is no where near as low as some of those complaining about low MPG with their G's. It is however a little lower than my previous two G's but not by much.
Either it is their driving style, useless expensive mods, poor choice of cheap replacement parts or something wrong with the vehicle itself that just throwing parts at it is not going to solve.
The first result on MPG was when I reset the vehicle computer and took position of the vehicle with a little over 3500 miles. Perhaps the previous owner used premium which is recommended but results in lower MPG which is what I discovered with my previous 06 G35 6 speed and my previous 2012 G37S 6 speed?
The results of my four fill ups all on regular 87 octane. I reset the computer on every fill up.
I have not taken any road trips with the Q70 yet but will post the results later this year when I do.
My tire pressure is also carefully monitored.
Cold out this morning
No junk in the trunk

Why not?
13 MPG on any Infiniti indicates something is wrong.

It depends on your driving style! If you're a conservative driver you're right, but if you've got a lead foot cruise control really does help.
