I really should have updated this a while back...
I reset my ecu the G35 way (pumping the break pedal).
The lowest MPG I get is 19.6. The highest I have gotten is 24.5 (highway in traffic). On average I get around 21mpg.
After a diff fluid change, an oil change, & resetting the ecu again, my gas mileage dramatically improved. I can't wait to change my tranny fluid. I'll update afterwards.

Yeah, I wouldn't bet so easily. Let me prove you wrong again. You can get better gas mileage than that (I've gotten much much higher). All you have to do is go up to a real high velocity (e.g., 120mph), then coast just as you reset the gas mileage meter. After about 30 seconds, it'll read an extremely high mpg number with a high avg. mph. You really want to make that bet (again)?

you can also downshift and coast and it'll go up...
i was about to take the bet too...
hey... free 100 dollars... why not...
That's ridonkubulous!
haha thats hilarious! highest i've gotten is 31.2mpg at 66mph (without cheating) and that was leaving a gas station, bout 1/4 to highway, and got on the highway cruising at 72mph. Sure i can get SLIGHTLY better, but cheating seems so much easier! haha
OH WAIT! best you've gotten is 31.1!! i beat you without cheating!! haha where is my 100!
i'll send it from my phone for proof, wait for the edit.

My last trip to Dallas I averaged 29 MPG at 70 MPH, but now that I'm back to stoplight city driving it's back down to 17.2 MPG. Sucks ***. Paying $55.00 to fill her up yesterday was not pleasant either.
