Gas Mileage

Gas Mileage
Hey everyone,
I hav e spent quite sometime looking through the FAQ's and also all the other threads I found about gas mileage sucking on these cars. I thought I would make a post about my situation.
I have a 2005 Inifiniti G35 (6 speed) Sports Sedan. I get about 225 miles per tank. Which puts me at 14 MPG. I drive all city. I made absolutely sure on this last fillup, that I drove like a grandma. This didnt help what so ever. I know gas mileage on these cars isnt the best, but seriously 14 MPG? How are other car owners getting 18-21 city? Something possibly wrong with this?
THanks for any help! I appreciate it.

14mpg is brutal. do you spend a ton of time idling, in stop-and-go traffic? that's the only way i can see 14mpg, if you say you granny'd it. make sure your maintenance is up to date, air filters changed etc...
my 04 6mt regularly gets 500kms (313mi) to a tank (60L) 90% city commutes. the 19" coupe rays hurt a bit, but not much. i usually shift by 2500rpms, and i skip shifts often as well. usually 1-3-5, or 2-4-5 if at a "rolling stop". aside from that i'm just easy on the go pedal, unless i want to have some fun...
i have seen 30+ mpg on highway road trips.

NO ONE can help you untill you calculate MPG correct which is. fill up completely, reset the trip meter on the dash. drive for a wheel and then when you fill up write down gallons filed and divide that by miles on your odometer.
saying you get 225 from F and E doesn't mean much as light comes on with 2 gals left.
MPG is always a touchy subject. I get 18-20 on my AWD 80% highway. i'm running tip top shape.

Just to add, i say to try to use the same exact pump. Differences in nozzle design may shut off the slow sooner than others.
I get about 21.5MPG mixed with my X.

I just drove about 900 miles over Thanksgiving, mostly highway, and got around 22.5 MPG. But that was averaging close to 75 mph, with 80-ish for very long stretches (gotta love Michigan's 70 mph speed limit with almost no troopers in sight). It would have been better but I forgot to clean my air filter before I left. I'm sure it's pretty mucked up since I haven't touched it since late summer.
I can usually put about 16.5 gallons in when the light comes on. I always fill it to the top, and it's been pretty consistent.
