16.7 mpg on 07 G Sedan?
#166
Just managed to pull this off on an 80 mile highway commute back from my university. The miles left indicator said 50 miles when I started, haha. I just stayed 60-65mph the whole way, the average speed went down a lot when I got to the gas station and parked.
Bonus pic: That was also the most I've ever filled up. I must have been on empty for 30 miles, but it still had 2 gallons in the tank.

Your car is still breaking in. Do you use premium gas? I lost almost 2mpg when I put 87 in it to see how she ran. She did not like 87 at all. She was sluggish and mpg was bad. 93 no ethanol is all she gets now mpg 23.

I'm jealous of you.. we get 91 w/ethanol here in CA and I'd like to see how the G runs on better fuel.

So, I think I'm averaging the following on my 2008 G35x:
14-15 mpg on 87 octane
16-17 mpg on 93 octane.
I wonder if the 93 octane is worth the extra MPG ???
I also wonder if the MPG benefits from the 7spd auto is worth upgrading to a 2009+ G37 ???

I don't think our 6 to 7 yr old cars with decent performance is particularly bad in gas mileage, unless you are comparison it with cars with 7sp transmission and/or turbo-charged 4-cyl engine with a light right foot.
I think I could use a 7th gear in my G35s for freeway, but it wasn't avaialble at the time the car was made.
I wouldn't mind better mpg, but I know the trade off would be either luxury, performance or money in the bank account, or all of the above.
I got around 21.6 mpg overall avg, and easy to get around ~25 mpg cruising around ~70mph on the freeway.
