Horrible Gas Mileage
Why would anyone in their right mind hypermile in a normal situation?
Yes I actually was able to see 35mpg on my G35 on a lonely country road going 40mph in 6gear.
Made me laugh actually, because it felt so boring and almost retarded. There were no cars around me and I was just cruising around listening to music when I saw that on the Nav info screen
But that was kinda the point you were trying to make. Hypermiling is not a thing that people will do on their daily commute. Its literally unsafe and unpractical.
Here's an article I found on hypermiling:
Hypermiling is awful and I sort of hate it

Kinda getting off subject here. That quote above of 62mpg target is from an Audi TDI, which normally gets around 45mpg being a diesel.

They get down to what lane you're in, what angles you can throw it in neutral, mods to help save gas, etc. Its an obsession with some. Similar to hotrodding but for mpg instead of HP.
That article is poking fun at hypermiling. There are a lot of people that are so good at it you may not even notice they're doing it. There's a strong community for it.

If I wanted good mpg, I would get a diesel or a Toyota Prius/Corolla. My roomates Audi A3 gets about 45mpg, and my sisters Corolla gets 30+. And that's with normal driving.
Hypermiling may be a thing, but no one I know in their right mind does it on a regular basis.
That's great for them, but does not help the rest of the normal people that drive normal everyday.

"Remember, these older cars are not as fuel efficient as newer cars"
And then stated your corolla as an example. I'm saying there have been fuel effient vehicles for decades. Its not some new phenomenon that just came out 5 years ago. The G gets low MPGs because their target market was people who weren't worried about the cost of gas.
OK...again, original point was that the Gs time of origin has nothing to do with its mpg. You said:

Yes, I agree that the G35's don't have good mpg, but I think we already know that

Not exactly.
Can you squeeze 35mpg from a 3.5L V6 G35??
Or can you tell me how I can get 30+mpg city from my Camry? I'm all ears. Even 30mpg hwy is a stretch. I'd have to drive like 40mph on the freeway to get that mpg, which is unrealistic and unsafe.
FYI my dad previously owned the Camry I have, and bought from him when he upgraded to a newer Honda Accord. My dad, who has never gotten a ticket in his life, did every single maintenance on the Camry at the dealer. I call that car the "Unbreakable".
And it is rated at 21mpg city by Toyota which is what I get with normal city driving.
What a car gets for mpg is normally what the manufacturer will specify on the spec sheet. Although it may be possible to obtain more, usually they are spot on. You will get less when you drive aggressively of course, but you usually cannot get more than the reasonable mpg.

If you could do that, then I don't know what else is causing the low mpg that the OP is getting.
Edit: saw your post about getting 395 miles on 13 gallons, so you did get 30mpg.

Who said he isn't?
Exactly, And I still don't care.
18 MPG combined? Meh. I'd rather enjoy my commute

If you're not using mileage / gallons to calculate, then your mpg number is meaningless to OP. The real-time mpg reading at certain speed does not represent the actual fuel economy. You'll be surprise how far it actually is from 30 mpg.

And aside from that I have also hit 415 hwy miles on a tank, then was forced to do two days of city driving before the light came on.
But back on topic. Im thinking it is the fuel map. he has already mentioned that his millage is improving tank by tank... after that I am thinking compression and non-stock rear end.
