about 23.x mpg according to my navigation running half a tank to the ski resort and back, then finishing off the tank via normal commutes. doesn't sound so decent compared to 26-27mpg "as advertised." i think i only got over 25mpg once when my car had about 3,000mi on the odometer...what do you guys think about my highway mileage? i seem to get about 20-21mpg tops during my daily commutes.

After 300 miles I'm ready to ditch the G on the side of the road. But surprisingly I can take a 2500 mile road trip in my NSX and wish I had more to go.

Oakland>San Diego>Oakland (1100 Miles) with one other person and it was a tight fit with luggage and cooler but not uncomfortable at all. I would do it again no question about it.

Simple. My G35C is uncomfortable, whereas my NSX is comfortable. You would assume the opposite to be true.

Im no means that big but definetly not small (6'2 200) yet I have no idea how some of you are getting this sore right leg. I have ample room between my leg and the controls.

If your the driver, yes a long trip is no problem, even with one passenger your good to go, but any more than two people in the same coupe is a big no no......rent a party bus :-)

I've taken several 300-500+ mile trips in my coupe. It's a pain to fit the luggage in there for two people, but if you're smart with it it will go easily. My only suggestions:
Use "soft" luggage, instead of "cases." They smush and fit easier.
Put your shoes in a smaller bag that can easily fit in one of the nooks.
Pillows fit nicely behind the front seats.
Small foldable coolers fit nicely in the back in between the two rear seats.

If I'm easy on her, and not going up and down hills, I've gotten 27-29mpg on the interstate. Usually when I leave cruise on, however, if I'm just rolling around 75-80 I'll get between 25-26mpg.

I HAVE gotten 31.8mpg before, but that was rolling through 50 miles of construction, at 55mph, behind a truck, through the plains. LOL
