Quote: What kind of mileage are you getting? Your idea of "bad" might be normal. These cars suck gas like V8's
I get around 120 to a tank city and 250 highway
Using know why it's so bad other people claim the get 350-375?

Assuming you fill up when the gas light comes on, I calculate that to be about 7.5 MPG in the city!! When my gas light comes on I fill up about 16 gallons in my tank. That being said, HOLY ****!! Go get you car serviced PRONTO!

There needs to be an easier way to resetting the ECU if it's that detrimental! I did the pedal reset once. Took me couple of tries to get the timing right. I'm heading to chicago so I'll probably do it again and granny my way there

The pedal reset is extremely easy. If not, just unplug the negative for the night and hook it back up in the morning.

That is extremely low. I don't think I could achieve that if I tried. There has to be something wrong with your car. I have to think you have something blocking your fuel somewhere, your air filter is black, and your MAF is shot.

Is your check engine light on?

Quote: +1. An easy way of following that advice is turning on Snow mode (not sure if that's standard in all Gs). It basically limits your max RPMs and wants you to push harder on the pedal to move so you might feel guilty pushing further than you're used to.
not standard and i think it only comes in the g35x not to sure

If you have a MT...The owner's manual has recommended shift points for best mileage. They are probably way below what you are doing now. You could try that and look for improvement. One downside is the shifts will be more jerky.

Wow that is pretty bad millage. Sorry to hear that bro. Something must be off somewhere.
I get 21mpg from my 01 acura TL in city...by the way, does 06 G coupe comes with 16 or 20 gallon tank?
did you check you Air filter, tire pressure...maybe a different driving style. All those little things add up...I don't know how you drive and that is your daily commute in the city.
