Hey everyone, I am looking to buy a 2007 g35. I absolutely love the car and think it beats out bmw, audi and acura for a better ride. It even rivals my friends panamera in some aspects! My main concern is MPG though. I know you don't buy a G35 for the gas mileage, but it does weigh in. Can you tell me what kind of mileage I should expect from this G35? It has 92,000 miles on it. I commute 100 miles a day and it's about 70% interstate. Thank you for your help!!

 

Do a search on this forum for "MPG" the average is about 300-325 miles per tank. When i fill up, it's almost always for 16 gallons of 92.

 

I wonder in what aspect? Price? the 5th seat belt? Reliability?

BTW, I am getting around 22mpg in "regular" mixed driving (65% Freeway, 35% local)

I am ok with that considering its a +300hp luxury sports sedan (that actually has quite a bit of "sports" in it)

 

I am just over 20mpg most of it is stupid city driving. This time around i got 20.32mpg

 

Well that's disappointing. That's worse than my MDX. Looks like I might have to go with a bloody 2008 A4 2.0T S-line. Do they even compare at all?? I know it has a lowly 205hp but it gets 33 mpg.

 

Any other thoughts?

This was me driving at 50 MPH on highway for a week on a spare tire.... 300 miles left, 178 driven...

Seriously?

I get 14 on a good day.... my average is about 13.6. I drive about 95% city, and fairly hard everyday lol. Driving casually I'm lucky to get up to 15.

 

If you are driving 100 miles/day and 70% is on the interstate (and assuming that's not stop-and-go), there is no reason you cannot expect mileage in the 22 - 25 range depending on how aggressive your are with your right foot.

These threads are all over the place on g35 forums. I tend to blame the driver/owner. Unless the person complaining is relying on the Navigation's mileage gidget, or is just bad at math, then there is clearly something faulty going on.

About 3 months ago I did about a 14 gallon "test" and achieved 24mpg for about 50/50 Hwy/city driving. This was on a 2005 6mt coupe in CA, using 91 octane, utilizing the A/C constantly (drawing electric), usually 90 degrees outside during the day (most of my driving time), drawing 400 wrms from an Amplifier occasionally, and occasionally multiple people in the car (extra weight). My G, at this point of 24mpg, had a Kinetix plenum, k&n drop-in filter, z-tube, Stillen CBE, and Osiris e-tune (useless...as I later saw the effects of an e-tune vs dynotune, on my powerband and AFR). I generally cruised at 80mph on the freeway and accelerated through the gears shifting into 2nd @ 15mph, 3rd @ 20mph, 4th @ 30mph, 5th @ 35mph, 6th @ 40mph, using a feathering gas pedal (not always, but as a general guideline).

I now have a turbo kit which made 340rwhp and 340rwtq when dyno'd last on a dynometer 224. All other parts mentioned above remain. My driving style remains the same (usually, with occasional spurts of acceleration). Here's my latest fill up: 407miles and a 16.9 gallon fill up = 24.1 mpg





Btw, I checked my speedometer versus a GPS speedometer. Almost dead on.

 

16-18.
i think thats what most of us got.
unless you drive like a grandma

 

Looks like you have the same issue with your odometer I have, the top half is dim. Thought I was the only one as I haven't heard of anyone else here having the same issue. 05 sedan w/110K on the clock.

 

This sounds about right... My average mpg on the odometer is 14.9... And I've stopped speeding and I roll to red lights for the most part. 14-17 is probably what you're expecting to get

 

I get 18 mpg consistently on 95% city driving pretty spiritedly. It's not great, but for 300hp plus, I am happy.
