I do mostly city driving and it's hard to reach 18 mpg. I'm usually getting 17.5. Any suggestions on how to increase it? And what are you all getting on average?

 

You might want to search this... there's many threads on this topic.

 

im usually not the one to appoint people with the search function, but MPG threads are all over this forum as well as others.

17.5mpg in the city is about right.

 

Oh boy a MPG thread. Cant wait for the results.

 

This thread is now about Fast Five

This just went from mission impossible to mission freakinsanity

 

the rock: i'll see you soon.
dom: no you won't

 

dom: we're talking about one hundred million dollars
ludacris: I am down.

 

dom: not double clutching like you should...

o wait...

 

If you want good MPG sell your Z and get a prius. You drive a sports car, don't worry about mpg, just drive or GTFO

 

With 4.08 gears the trip computer says the car is getting 18.3-18.5 mpg

Did we all just become best friends?!

 

Roman Pearce: You know, I think I make a better special agent than you ever did.
Brian O’Conner: I guess that depends on how you define ‘special’.

Ok listen up! The men we’re after professional runners. We find them, we take them as a team and we bring em back. And above all else, we don’t ever, ever, let them get into cars.

Roman: Like I said, We hungry.... whooops

 

I'm asking because my friends 03 Z is getting about 19+ with the same variables. If I wanted a Prius or any other car like that I would've bought it..

 

Good Housekeeping!

Huh huh?


Oops. Me to.

 

I take it you have a NISMO 350z as you are posting in the NISMO section of the forum.. Your buddies 03 VQ35DE will "probably" get better mileage than your VQ35HR. You cant compare the two cause they are of a different class. It all depends on how you drive/tire pressure/ which gas you use at different gas stations, some premiums at some gas stations are better than others. Even having the right set of tires can make a slight difference, there's so many variables to MPG including road surface to which way the wind is blowing for christ sakes. Consider getting 17+mpg in the city a plus since my truck barely gets 12-14 city and on a good day 20 highway. The Z is still considered a sports car so it's not going to win any eco friendly awards any time soon.

BTW I have an 03 and I rarely get 19 highway even when babying it, but my Z is my weekend warrior so I just don't give a ****
