The Z's a liar. It would tell me I can put ~390 miles on my tank when I first fill it up then once i hit 50 miles to go I go maybe another 100 miles and it still says I can go 35 miles. After another 50 miles it says 20 to go, then you just see this ----. That's when I decide to fill up my take and it still only fills up 15 gallons I get maybe 450 miles on a "full" tank of gas lol which doesn't make sense because it says I get 25 mpg.. 450/15=30 so back to my original conclusion, the Z is a liar.

Anyways, awesome thread. Can't wait to drive my Z later haha

I'm lucky if I get 400 and I usually get about 24mpg
Do you only drive on highways or something?

Very common, and guess where the extra 5 gallons is. IT IS STILL IN THE TANK. I drive mine for usually over 100 miles after it says --DTE. Most i have done in a tank is 500 miles , filled up 19.3 gallons.

You can also clean the sending unit mounted on the drivers side under the sub panel it you want it to work semi normal.

I just reset the MPG counter when i fill the car, its actually very accurate. If it says 22 MPG average, it means i can go 440 miles. I usually fill up early and put in 18 gallons to be on the safe side.

You've got an '03-'04 don't you.
They re-engineered the shocks after that. It's much improved now.

Also since he has an 03, the shocks are wasted by now. My 03 rode really nice for a while.

What I will give this a shot lol. So your saying once it hits --- you do another 100 miles? Cuz at --- I'm already at ~400 miles in lol but yet makes sense, cuz that only fills up 15-16 gallons

Just go off your MPG gauge. Do the math , try a little at a time till you get comfy with it.

Yes an 03. I inspected the suspension and there is nothing wrong. Ball joints are fine, no cavitation, nothing. Teins are coming asap though.
