I hate my MPG on my Z.. do you guys only get 20 mpg on your car regularly?? I fill the whole tank last week and I saw the odometer and I ran roughly 290 miles... It is problem these days because the gas price is going up too.. any advise to make my mpg better???????

 

I hate when people complain about gas. I get 16mpg...if I try I can get 22 or 28 if I'm on the interstate a lot on one tank

 

I've been averaging 23-24mpg since I got the Z 1900 miles ago.

 

It could be worse, you could have gotten an Rx8. Ever seen the mpg on those things? Keep the rpm's low and you will increase your mileage.

 

+1 @ keep your rpm low when you shift...



btw gas prices are going down

 

hahahaha i get 18 if i really try to behave i can pull off 19-20, but on average daily i get around 15-16. the other day i managed to get 8.5 on the display hahaha
you really cant care, i dont...id ratehr drive it like i want and face it that i waste gas, and i never care about gas prices cus ive not once seen anyone or myself actually say no im not buying gas its too expensive ill wait, im gonna buy it anyway so whats it matter what it costs?

 

For a sports car with a v6 300hp powerhouse, the Z gets amazing gas mileage.

 

god... man mpg is ridiculous.. i should start working lol.. hahaha maybe that is the problem

 

I've never had a tank that I didn't average 23mpg on and I'm at 25,000 miles. It depends more on how much stop and go driving you do or don't do.

 

You know what guys!!! this may sound crazy but I filled with 17 gallons and I get 395 miles from it. Crazy but its true. I used 91 octane.

 

I get about 20 here in Vegas around town , 25 freeway . In cali i get 25 around town and 30 freeway.

 

Z has a pretty good MPG. After I gave it a try, a full tank can give me 420 miles (only) highway and about 220 miles (only) city.

 

Ah, you guys have lead feet. Lol !!!

 

i consider it not bad, i redline 24/7 drive it aggressive every day, and get 18mpg, i did it with any other car, id get 10mpg the way I drive, dont forget how you drive these babies

 

One of my roomates has an 07' RS4 and the other has a 06' M5, the way they drive they are lucky to get 9-10 mpg so I do not feel so bad

 

mpg...i'd say the thing i hate most about my Z is with the windows down, there is still BARELY any air circulation. That and the long heavy doors. Makes it difficult to get out in tight parking spaces.

 

^your roommates are rich, they probably don't think about gas prices...haha

 

dont drive fast keep rpm between 2 - 3 after the Z passes 3 rps it drinks gas

 

keep your tires at the recommended psi.... ditch any dead weight, keep the air filter clean and the oil changed.... drive normal... don't coast in neutral... it wastes gas rather than save it...

 

How does coasting in neutral waste gas? I am just curious because I was under hte impression this saved gas.
