lots of freeway, not a lot of stoplight driving. i noticed that the stoplight to stoplight stuff takes away gas pretty quickly haha these cars do pretty well on the freeway in 6th gear tho if i do all freeway driving i can get 24-27mpg but thats rare

there is a DIY to clean the sensor for the sending units in the gas tank, type in "gas gauge weirdness" in the search

'04 auto w/ 99k. From empty, ive never filled up more than 17.4 gal. I must be getting around 18-20mpg average. my driver side window is malfunctioning so i have an awkward air draft. + a warped hood. sucks.

I have a 05 coupe 5at with 125K. I always run 35psi with premium gas and been getting 18mpg from 90-120K running 40 weight oils (rotella 5w-40: 7k oci or Pennzoil HM 10w-40: 5k oci). After changing the PCV valve and seeing it a little clogged I changed it to another oem one. Last 5k I've been getting around 20-22mpg depending on driving style. On a RX350 with 96K I went from 17.5 to 22.1mpg after changing the pcv vale after about 1k miles. I plan on doing it on all my cars every 50-60K. On the G35, don't even bother taking off the engine cover, you can change it without removing it. If you time yourself, it probably would take literally two minutes to change it.

Mine took 16.3 gallons yesterday after the gas light came on. Cost me 68$ and for the lazy, that's about $4.20 a gallon. I'm sure it will hit $5 by mid summer.
