Possible causes of low mpg
#16
You will receive error codes if there's anything not working correctly. One thing that helps mileage is using your cruise control whenever possible. You didn't post the number of miles on your G, if it's close to 100K you could be ready for plugs and all the other maintenance suggested at that mileage. Claims of 19 mpg probably include city/highway mileage and a close calculation of mileage from a full tank to the next.

Check it out:
All these weird things people talk about that are out of the ordinary are not things people do normally to get good mpg. Getting goof mpg has to do with maintenance and driving style.
Make sure you're up to date with differential, transmission and engine oil changes, keep your spark plugs changed every 40-50k (I don't care what anyone else says), keep your tires properly inflated, your air filter clean and don't drive 80 everywhere you go. Also, no red light romps on the gas, or excessive passing.
O2 sensors DO progressively degrade, but you wouldn't see a significant decline in mileage unless they were actually broken, so changing them now wouldn't result in much.

I do have that towards the end of my vin but I believe your info may be wrong I have a 5AT and rev ups only come in 6MTs I believe

Thanks, I thought you had the 7mt .
I was wondering for the same digits in your Vin # what is it for the VQ35DE engine with A/T
The reason I ask is the original Rev up engine Vin # has 7M1 for G35 coupe 7m/t
The replacement engine if factory installed would have 7M9 in the Vin #, if it camw with the new LB part number.
I am trying to figure out where the 07 Rev up engines came from since the Tochigi plant were already building the HR engines for 07 and 08 G37 Sedan and Nissan 350z cars.

Oil makes a huge difference, ended up with 30w oil from nissan on a free oil change and dropped from 30mpg to 24mpg on the next road trip.
replaced 2.5ish quarts with 5/20 and got back 3mpg ..
Winter gas is awful. http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars...ence-13747431/
vq35de and vq35hr blocks despise winter grade gas.
