#16
Guy’s thank you so much for explanation and for your time to post reply. I don’t know where all you live with so amazing MPG drive in CITY only, no HW.
I live in Brooklyn and my ride takes me true the 25 local signal lights (AC always On) and I have only yet 700miles maybe that is G35 excuse? BTW my record was today 12.4 MPG I will post my MPG after a couple thousand miles. More suggestions of course are very welcome.

I average 16-17 mpg in city driving, which would be 320-340 miles/tank. I've had up to 28 mpg on the highway once, but normally it ranges from 22-26. Guess it depends on wind direction and speed, since most highway miles are with cruise at 75.
Seems to have dropped recently a little, but Oklahoma is now adding ethanol to it's gas, hurting mileage some.

Ok...I think I should take mine in to service then.
I average 200 miles per tank around Los Angeles...with almost no freeway driving. All stop and go around the city. My trip pc says about 13, and when I average it out it's the same.
Is it just the fact I rarely go above 40 for any length of time, or should I have it looked at?

13mpg may be correct then if you're heavy footed in slow traffic.

My G35xS Experience
highend - I'm at the other end of NY State driving around in suburbia mostly...but some downtown (Buffalo and Toronto)...I've found a definite improvement after break in (I have about 8,000 miles on my 08)...
I'm getting around 17.5 mpg in mixed suburban driving...My worst tank ever was 14.1 mpg and my best (roadtrip - 90% highway but at high speeds - 80 mph+) was 23.2 mpg...so extremely close to the rated 17/23 mpg figures...and I drive like a jerk in general.
