Bad Gas Mileage

Bad Gas Mileage
Noticing my 2004 G35X is averaging around 200-230 miles on a full tank of gas. I am pretty sure I used to get around 300-315 before filling up. Now, I used to drive mostly highway miles, however I am mostly driving on regular roads to and from work. I only drive about 6 miles average per day. Maybe a bit more on the weekends if I'm moving about town. I use regular gas, but I've used regular gas for quite some time now. Any suggestions on what it could be?

The highway is a different ball game and you can get (at least I do) nearly twice the mileage driving on the highway in the summer, versus winter driving in the city.
I, too, drive 5-10 miles for work every day.

I've come to the conclusion that unless you drive on the highway with the cruise control on...you are gonna get crappy gas mileage.
My experience with my two cars.
There are two routes i take to get to work. One is 99% highway, the other is all backroads doing 35-40MPH hitting lights and such.
'12 Benz C300. 27-28MPG highway, 20-21MPG city route
My '06 G35x 26-27MPG highway....15-18MPG city route.

Yup I tried my best to drive "normally" and like a grandma and it totally didn't make any difference in city driving...always getting around 18-19mpg.

Even when I am doing mostly stop and go driving I get better than 200-230 before I need to fill up. Granted I usually don't fill up until the light kicks on, but still I average about 18-20 mpg when I do stop and go so that would mean I'm getting a solid 100 miles per tank better than you. Have you had your spark plugs replaced lately?
