Default What is the highest MPG you have seen?

I was just curious what is the highest MPG you have ever seen your 350z say its getting, i was driving on the freeway going 85 and i hit the reset switch for the gas mialidge, i also happend to be going downhill for a while and gave it almost 0 gas and when it updated it said 38.4 MPG, i was like woh!, it then went down to 30 MPG when i went up hill, and 34 MPG when i went down hill again, after driving on the freeway at 80-85 when i got off the average MPG was 29.8, which i think is pretty good, i was just wondering what the highest youve seen your Z display while dirving?

Driving from San Diego to LA I was able to squeeze 23 mpg out her. Most of the time, I'm lucky to be getting 17mpg around town. Driving from San Diego to Vegas on Friday, fully equipped with my new Passport 8500. Something tells me that I'll be lucky to see 17mpg

I actually hit 31 MPG on a tank of gas while on my trip from PA to LA (New Orleans). That was averaging nearly 82 MPH also. (Of course PA to LA is all down hill)...

Don't go by the trip computer...it's not very accurate. Go by miles driven and how much gas you actually put into your tank. You'll get a better idea.

99.9mpg
I was going over 100, reset it, and then coasted for a bit. When it registered it came up 99.9mpg and 99.9 avg mph

the highest I've seen on an actual trip was 28.1 for a while on my way to mass.

26mpg avg speed of 72mph I think. Reset the gauge before you start driving, for an accurate reading. Give it some time to adjust to....

Most of my driving is city and I get 18mpg ***** to wall
