I think you're assuming he was completely out of gas when he filled up. Not likely. Probably didnt take 20 gallons to fill it.

 

Oh yeah....

 

BTW OP, your car must be thinking "What has bought me? It must be a mattress salesman" Jeremy Clarkson joke for anyone who watches Top Gear...

 

i get about 30+...at 65 mph

dips to about 26 at 80 though

 

Mpg gauge is accurate to 2%, checked it against my scan gauge. This is a great car for a compromise between power and mpg! Would reccomend it to anybody and the price of a new one is lower than ever.

 

i think you just like reviving dead threads

 

Old threads never die; they just fade away.

 

Apparently not

 

...

 

Yeah man.... No problems here getting 30+ ..... Coasting down a hill on the highway.c

 

ok....you guys may beat me up over this but I baby my Z, all highway miles (work and home), set cruise control at 65 and cruise listening to music, never have run it hard (only once 125mph going to Vegas)....but my computer indicates 34-37mpg. So whats up?, is my computer bonkers or did I get a once in a life time car?

 

No- many of us get those kind of figures while cruising. Nissan engineers tuned the ECM to lean out the air/fuel mixture at steady highway speeds. The VQ isn't revving or carrying a heavy load at those speeds, so it gets excellent fuel mileage. But combine that with city driving with stop-and-go spurts and the mileage drops severely.

 

i get 13 smiles per gallon

 

I don't see how this is possible? I can be on cruise and not even touch 25
