What are the average miles per tank you guys are getting?
I struggle to get 300 miles per tank in my car. I drive about 10-15 miles on a normal day and I would think I would get atleast 17-19 mpg with some city and some highway, sadly though, this is not the case. Even if I;m easy on the gas I still only get a little above 300 miles. Is this how all your cars are or is there something wrong with mine?
It is a bone stock 2004 G35 btw.
Anything will help.
Thanks.

yep use premium fuel if possible (recommend from Infiniti/Nissan anyway), keep rev's low and slow acceleration and if your serious about getting better MPG consider getting an Osiris tune with a Econ map and drive on econ mode most of the time, its not a miracle worker but it will give a good MPG boost

Driving style playsna huge role. Some days i struggle for 300 per tank. Other days when I feel cheap and try form fuel economy, I can make 400 miles easily. I just did some highway road trip driving last week...400 mile round trip and did it with a full tank of gas with a little left over. Cruising @ 75 with ac on.
I used to complain about poor fuel economy...then I realized it was me.

Another key to good mpg is keeping the car light. That also means NEVER fill up your tank; it makes the car way too heavy. I used to do that and like many of you, only would get 300 miles on a tank. Now what I do is get the tank to HALF full, which is roughly 10 gallons. Now I get about 225 miles on a half tank when I do 60 on the highway and 45 in the city. Do the math: that's 450 miles to a tank full or around 23 miles to the gallon- not bad at all for a sporty 6mt sedan!
Also, don't forget to put 35 psi in all 4 tires. I know Infiniti suggests 33 but I've found that 35 not only makes the ride alot smoother but also helps with mpg.
My 2 cents...

What I find frushtrating is that a couple of years ago I drove my wife's '05 MaxSL from CT to the DC area, drove around town for a day before heading back. Got stuck in traffic getting out of DC. But still got 27mpg overall by the time I got home. This is basicly the same engine but FWD. Overall gearing is slightly higher in the Max but not enough to matter. Why is 22mpg the best I can get from my '06 G35x?
