You need the copper iso thermal kit since you live in a cold climate.
I'm just wanting to find out if any of you guys have had similar experiences. This is my first "luxury" car and I've owned it for about 2 to 3 months. The car in question is the 2006 G35X Sedan AWD. I've been noticing that I barely make it to 200 miles on a full tank of gas.
Yesterday I filled up at BP (93 octane; I only use BP). After filling I reset the odometer to keep an eye on the gas. Immediately afterwards I drove from Hackensack, NJ to Jersey City, NJ (20 mile (rounded up) from my house to my GF's place)). When I got there I had already burned through a 1/4 tank which sort of pissed me off a bit.
My girlfriend and I then traveled to less than 3 miles (2.3) to be exact to grab lunch and then went to a store not far away (let's say 4-5 miles) followed by going back to her place. I then drove back home (20 miles) and called it a night. I then traveled to class this morning which breaks down to:
Hackensack, NJ to Wayne, NJ (11.4 miles; 24 miles if I round generously) to and from home and school. I then left to pick up my daughter from school Hackensack, NJ to Garfield, NJ (5.5 miles; round to 6). After picking up my daughter I drove her to my job where she gets picked up by her grandmother. That trip is (11 miles; round to 12). As of right now I'm at a half a tank of gas (slightly under). At this rate I will need to fill up again tomorrow night if not Wednesday morning. This is pissing me off and I need to find the issue with this car.
** The mile figures are accurate as I put the exact address is Google Maps. Obviously I omitted the exact addresses on a public forum**
** I'm not heavy on the gas and use cruise control on the highway all the times and even on long stretches of roads**
** No, I don't have anything heavy in the trunk such as a body, etc **
** No, I'm not being cheap and I'm fully aware of gas prices. I know I was getting better gas mileage before as I was filling up every 4 to 5 days as opposed to the 3 days now.**
** I think my 300ZX gets better gas mileage than this car.**
** Yes, I checked my tire pressure and everything is to spec. **
I'm hoping this is something as simple as a tune up. My car is a tad over the 70k mark (see screenshot).
Any suggestions?

For the brand of amp, i'd like a name brand also such as rockfos, alpine, jl, pioneer, etc..
So my question is which sub out of mentioned would you go with and what amp should it be paired with?
Thanks, and im not planning to just buy online based on opinions, im going to check them out in person also.

I think I reset the pedal sensor and ECU but I will try it again. I have been monitoring my gas mileage and was able to make it to 260 miles on a full tank. I will do another reset tonight since I just filled up and monitor it.
I went ahead and ordered everything I need for a tune up on the car as well as the fuel filter. I will be doing the work myself when I find a garage space to work in. Also, I ordered the spark plug tube seals as well just for peace of mind.
Thanks for the help guys. I'm hoping to make or break 300 miles on a full tank.

^^ The filter's in the tank so have fun with that. I didn't know anyone sold spark plug tube seals separately, they are part of the non-serviceable valve cover gasket. Who did you get them from?
^Yep! The newer design has different seals that don't deteriorate, plus the pair is less than $100.
There's some retrofitting that has to be done, don't remember the full details, but it was posted on here recently. I'm just too lazy to search

The oil filler neck isn't on the Maxima covers so the cap won't line up with the cover, not to mention it will be somewhat under the plenium. Has anyone looked at Frontier valve covers, thay may be a closer fit since they are rwd but who knows if the vq40 valve covers are the same.
