Holy hell, lol my G hates me. 
Stock 2005 G35 coupe w/32K miles getting average 11.5-12mpg. And I am not that heavy on the pedal either. Pretty pathetic, I'm getting pissed as hell with the gas prices. Perhaps its time for an alignment and a full servicing, I guess its sort of close to the time.

The G35 must love the highway. I get 16-17 city no matter how I drive. If I ever get some highway miles, even if it's just a little, I notice a huge difference at the pump.
Mapester - If you are getting 11-12mpg more than once, something must be wrong or you are getting funky gas. At my worst of heavy throttle, late shifts, and short drives, I get 16mpg.

I got horrible gas mileage in the city too, 12-15 mpg. On the highway though, its like 25-30 ! My friend with a coupe says he gets aroung 12 also. That's the only thing I HATE about this car.
I took a 3300+ mile roadtrip last month and averaged 23.64 mpg. My best MPG was 26.49 on a stretch between Carson City, NV and Ely, NV, average speed of 90mph. The only extra weight I had was a suitcase and small ice chest.

I peg the "leaf" on the fuel economy page on the NAVI!!!!! I think that is well over 35mpg!!!
Of course, I have 550cc injectors and the ecu has no idea so it totally throws off MPG calculations.

I drove from Atlanta to Roanoke, VA yesterday in my 03.5 5at sedan.

I popped out the celly and did the math and guess what 30.11 MPG!!!!!!! I was completely stoked! I had about 5-600lb of cargo if you count me, was running half 89 and half 93 octane, and averaged around 70mph (gf had to go slow, she had my 275/35/19's on the roof of her suv hahahah) The only mod I have is a JWT pop-charger and Z-tube. I also ran the A/c the WHOLE TIME at 72 on the lowest fan setting!
Keep your foot out of it unless passing and it works!
