I miss everything about my G except...
Hi everyone!
Thought I'd stop by and see what's up!
Like my title said, I miss everything about my G35x except when I go to the gas station. I haven't accurately checked the mileage on my 03 Accord yet, but I'm getting about 400 miles in mixed driving per fillup. And that's with a 17 gallon tank. I was lucky to get 300 miles out of my G with a 20 gallon tank. But in every other respect the G kicks the pants off the Accord.

Accord 4 popper or V6?
Sorry. After driving this car, I can't ever see myself in 'just another box' on the road.
I can get 22MPG doing mixed if I behave myself. Any real hit on gas mileage is my own fault, so I'm digging it. The 98 Maxima I traded out of barely did better than that because my foot was constantly to the floor to get her to MOVE. With this car, all I have to do is curl a toe and I'm deep in the 'red' zone.
Enjoy the box. After rolling in the G, I don't know how you do it.

I get varied MPG in my g35. My in town driving (a couple of miles between stops, lots of stop lights, a couple of bridges) MPG stinks. I am in the 13s, but there is alot of stop start, and acelleration (mild). I think the low MPG is because of the short distances I am driving. They add up to terrible mileage.
Get me on the open road, and I am very pleased with the mileage.
On my last roadtrip, I think I got 22.X with the cruise set to 82 mph. I'm sure if I was driving at 60 mph, the mileage would have been better the rated MPG for this car.

I had a BMW 330i that I once got 32.2 MPG in and it could do over 500 Highway miles on a tank. I was going to get a hybrid Accord so that I could eeek out those extra few MPG. Then I drove the 05 G35. I sold the Bimmer and Bought the G35. Now I am enjoying wasting copious amounts of gas. I used to watch the MPG dial in the bimmer to get every last mpg I could. I would even put the 5 speed in Nuetral going down hills to save gas. I was able to get 24 MPG with the 330i even in traffic with this technique. Now I just say forget it and punch that big old V6. I guess Nissan has turned me to the dark side. The thrill of the G35’s acceleration is just too much to resist!

G35 to a used Accord ... now that is a big move. Probably saved a bunch of cash, plus gas & insurance every month - good for you.
My attitude is this will be the last semi 'gas guzzler' I own before hybrids take over the country. Maybe three to four years from now I'll grab a hybrid Altima or Accord that gets 35mpg - especially since by then gas will probably be $5 a gallon ... but until then I'll enjoy every second of the VQ
