Re: Bad Gas Mileage in my G
last i read the G's tank was only 18.5 gallons, but maybe i'm wrong, i've had the same problem though. On highway i get about 20-25, but on streets i get 12-18. Not too bad, but I thought I was supposed to get better.

Re: Bad Gas Mileage in my G
Ok, I just filled up for the first time, cost me $40 
I only got 16.74 mpg this is really pathetic, I never took it over 4000 rpms and yet I get less then 17 mpg. My prelude with a supercharger got an average of 18 mpg.
Although all my driving has been around town, I should atleast average 20 mpg especially since i've yet to push it hard. I'm pretty disappointed in Nissan for there lack of engineering. If I wanted power with crappy gas milleage, I would of bought an domestic car. I would be less sore about this milleage if the car had more then 260 HP. Say 300 hp, then I could understand 16 mpg.
Only thing I can hope for is that breaking in the engine sucks up more gas, and once its broken in, it will get better mileage

Re: Bad Gas Mileage in my G
Well, I got the car back yesterday and they pretty much told me that it was my heavy foot that was getting me bad gas mileage. The drove it and got an average of 18.23 MPG. The clicking noise was not a relay going out, but my POSITIVE battery terminal cover that fell into the blower motor case. How it got there, I have no clue. While I was there, they "Performed G35 Headlamp campaign" where they put the caps on my headlight adjustment screws. I thought that was only for older models in Canada, but I guess I was wrong.
There was NO CHARGE for any of this work. They didn't even charge me the $5.00 maintenance fee for the loaner. I'm very impressed with Crescent City Infiniti for their service department.

hey guys,
i've asked my dealer, who owns an '05 AT g35 and he said that on the interstate driving 75mph he averages 27mpg! so i'm figuring that the MT should do better than that, with gentle driving of course.
anyone else gets better than 27mpg?

I even took out my Blitz intake and my Stillen Exaust to bring the car back to factory, but my mileage is still real bad. With the price of premium gas around here at $1.85 - $1.90 a gallon, this really isn't good at all. A tank is only getting me about 170 miles.
Now, I do have a tendancy to drive the car a little hard. I really can't help myself once I get behind the wheel, but I always have driven it hard. I'll be bringing the G into Infiniti on Saturday to let them check it out, but I wanted to know from everyone here, what kind of gas mileage are you getting? Has anyone else had the same problem I'm having?
Thanks!

I'm getting 14~19MPG for city driving, and I'm fine with it. I won't expect good mileage from a 3500lbs, AT, 3.5 Liter V6, 280HP sports sedan.
I'm enjoying every second in my 05 G35 man!!!
14MPG? no big deal! but bad to environment tho....
