yeah im not too sure what the culprit so burning so much gas is in these motors. I mean you expect a 300 hp car to not exactly be thrifty like a honda civic but damn i mean 18mpg city and ill say probably 22-23 hwy? for a V-6 is notably terrible

Let's all put a call into Nissan . Maybe they will make this upto us by recalling our cars and put a stock supercharger with double throttle body's and a componet for better fuel economy

If you're that low, I would venture to say you've got some basic maintenance to do. Tire pressure, air filter, oil change, spark plugs etc...something. All of those seem like small things but they can add up when it comes to gas mileage.

On the other hand, it could be lead foot as well. I average 22 mpg overall every tank.

How many miles do the spark plugs need to be changed within?

I haven't checked personally, but I've seen other people on here saying 75k. That seems like a long time for spark plugs to me. You'll know when your spark plugs are going south though. Your car will trditionally lose some of its ***** and its gas mileage.

Can you tell by looking at the spark plugs of just by the feel of the car? How much are they typically to replace them all ?

Yeah you could tell by looking at them, but there is no way in hell I'd dig them out to check them on this car. Typically you will know. Bad plugs will hinder the performance of the car. From the tiny, tiny bit of shopping I've done, I've found NGK Iridiums for about 60 bucks. But like I said, just done a little bit of shopping around.

thanks for your input. Not to sound snobby but I would probably want to buy the top of the line spark plugs for this G since I care about it a ton. Too much!

What are some top brand name spark plugs for our cars?

I've seen a lot of people using NGK or Denso plugs. Either are plenty fine.

Oh I will definitely get another G at some point when it makes more sense and this is a good community, I'll be around. I'll post some pics of the new whip tomorrow
