Re: Just checked my gas mileage
That's about right.
I got the same on mostly highway.
It has dropped to around 19 driving in rush hour stop and go lately.

Re: Just checked my gas mileage
That's pretty good for steady speed on hwy. Is that about 70-80 mph? It seems to fall off a lot when speed rises above 65-70 mph. I got my best Sedan mileage in the 65 - 70 mph range.
You can expect it to rise a little from there, IMO, once fully broken in. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Just checked my gas mileage
Just got back from a 1300 mile trip. Average speed of 70mph and got 24mpg. Not bad. Now I have to go disconnect the battery to reset the computer, G seems real sluggish in normal traffic now after all those highway miles.

Re: Just checked my gas mileage
Nissan's are not know for the gas milage. Also add in the gearing is set for performance not fuel milage. I've only filled up once and got 16.7 mpg. I'm halfway thru my 2nd tank of gas now and it looks like i'm on target for 17 mpg. Seems this car drinks gas like it has a 300 hp engine. As i've mentioned before i'm pretty disapointed in this aspect of the G35. I think they could of atleast got the city milage up to around 20-22 mpg. especially since we have to use premium gas


As it is now, were getting the same gas milage as SUV's

Pesti: If you want better highway mileage, try slowing down a little. Say, 70. I know, not nearly as fun, is it? [img]/w3timages/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Just checked my gas mileage
Pesti, once you get much over 70 mph, mileage drops off big time. You'll get your best at 65-70 but that's a snails pace right? BOOOORRRRIIIIINNNGGGGGG. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Just checked my gas mileage
Maybe next to you guys I drive like a granny, but that's not what my siblings, wife and in-laws think. When I drive 90% highway at 80-85 mph, I consistently get 21-23 mpg.

I feel sorry for you guys who only get 17 or so on the highway. I pass other cars on the road and hardly ever get passed myself, so I think I drive more aggressively than most, and still get 22mpg. Maybe it's the gas; I use Chevron 93, exclusively.

Re: Just checked my gas mileage
Just finished my first longish highway trip in my G35 sedan with about 2000 miles on it. Averaged around 23 mpg. That's going 60-80 with a fully loaded trunk, the wife, and two kids. I was impressed. I get 17-18 mpg around town on my commute.

Re: Just checked my gas mileage
Chinee,
Where do you get 93 at? Here in Cali we only have 91. Unless if you want to Pay $$$ at Unocal for 100....
