I recently purchased an 05 an the x models were 17/24 the non x were higher and I believe 19/26. Not changed from the 04 as I could see.

I have an x and I got like 19 on the first tank. It is winter time. I have gotten as high as about 21.5. I usually average 21. I the spring I expect it to be better and maybe as high as 23.

I've got 24K miles on my 03 and I'm getting 17mpg in the city and 19mpg in 70% city/ 30% highway. Three friends with 03/04 G35s report the same thing. However, we're still in winter and we're forced to use the crappy oxygenated winter gas. I'm hoping my MPGs go up a couple MPGs in warmer weather and better gas.

I always get 20-21 mpg with half city, half 80mph hwy. Sure would be nice to see 24-26 mpg!
