Default Maybe I'm Crazy?

Everytime I see my gas mileage start to drop I drive my 350z hard like on a back road and the mileage will go back up. Maybe our 350Zs need to be driven hard occasionally to get the best performance and mileage?

Go ahead and floor it and then fill up a week later, and do the math? That is divide the miles driven by the gallons used. Don;t rely on that odomoter meter, its false half the time.

My entire paycheck says you will get less MPG than driving normal.

I don't drive it hard all the time just occasionally when I see the gas mileage on the readout going lower.
