What's Your Mpg?
Whats up guys. I was just curious what's the average mpg you guys get. Around town I am 16.5-18 depending if I am in it all the time or ac w/ traffic. I think its decent considering I have 20s and exhaust. On the freeway I get anywhere between 25-28 mpg. I just did a trip from Sac to San Jose then to Mountain View back to San Jose and then back to Sac. I also drove a day to work and still had a line above 1/4. i filled up last night, I got 25mpg. Thanks

about 19mpg avg with 60/40 city/hw. I can get to 21-22mpg by watching the navi fuel screen, but its too much PITA. Interestingly, G35 is more efficient at 75mph than 65mph when I tested it going to Thunderhill. On the way out I set cruise control at 60mph and got 23mpg and going back I was going 75-85 mph and got close to 25mpg. I think the drag coefficient help somewhat at higher speed. On the track I got 9mpg though hahaha

K so I gotta plan. Since our cars do get better mpg @ higher speeds because of less drag & I have experienced it as well. if you get pulled over just say, "sorry officer, I was trying to get better gas mileage by speeding because it creates less drag"
