I think my g drinks too much gas. The 60 litre tank give me about 400-420 kms. Is this normal?

Please save the "get a smart car" comments.

 

I'm very conservative on the gas pedal... any tips for less comsumption?

 

Ya drive less JK... it is a gas *****... i get about 280 city miles which is about 465 KM, if i did the right conversion.

 

48.00 every week!

 

wait until spring/summer to get an accurate gauge of usage. winter driving will net worse mileage than spring or summer due to numerous variables: warm-up time, electrical load, fan use, defroster, wet/snowy roads, etc...

i normally fuel up after ~500-520kms on a tank @ low 60L fills (the tank is 76L). in the winter this drops to ~460-490kms per ~60L fill in the city. mine is a 6mt. i assume your mainly city driven?

aside from that, if you're already soft on the pedal, make sure your G is in good tune, clean air filter.

 

I seem to average ~17mpg most of the time. But that's at my current tune of ~405whp.

 

I'll blame the bad mileage to the bad weather (too much snow in canada)
Think the g35X drinks more gas... is this true?

I need to check my air filter though... it wasnt checked in a lonng time.

 

Buy a Geo Metro?

 

Not really tho

I get about 280ish miles per tank, thats seems about right

 

I used to get 19 mpg. But then I bought a K&N drop-in, and started shifting 5mph sooner and my gas mileage has improved greatly. On a 225 mile trip to Orlando, I averaged 24 mph, and that was at 85 mph the entire way.

 

as said, don't gauge by winter driving, i'm going though about a tank per week, (though i did get a week and a half out of a tank when there was no snow). driving habits have a lot to do with it. i used to get better mileage out of a 4.6 v8, (here i thought i'd do better with a smaller car and engine), on the highway anyways.
are there any shorter gears for the diff? i see peeps putting taller gears in (4.10s or so, right?), given that stock is already in the high 3's, maybe a lower 3 to high 2 rear would help, (kill your acceleration though, it's a trade off).

 

I normally get 300 miles per tank when I am conservative. spend about 50 bucks to fill the tank. However, I'm getting about 250 now since intalling my HKS exhuast on my sedan lol. I can't ever get sick of that sound at WOT

 

I got 390 on a fiil up of 18 gallons all highway miles. But I usually get 260-270

 

7mpg the first week with the turbo.

I have slowed down alot now after that!

 

I don't blame you lol. I would be gettin like 1mpg if I had a turbo
