For those that have them, whats the MPG?

I'll post up my final calculations and displayed mpg tonight when I fill up again.

Thanks for the clarification

drove about 260 miles last night with an average of 28-29mpg. I left with a full tank and still have a little over 1/4 left. my average speed was 65mph.

I'm in a 6MT, just did 27.1 on my first tank.

I do just 10-15 miles per day to go to work, the rest I enjoy on country and mountain road or track days.

p.s. the 350z gets less than 20

I'm wondering if European FRS has different gear ratio. Would you tell me how much is the rpm at 100km/h ?

I mean those little cars in Europe are going really fast on the highway maybe because of the higer octain gas you guys have there. Like 98 . That makes a different in speed and MPG

I was in Europe recently loved the highways the speed its crazy fun there .... over here you can't do much what's the point to have a high HP car....
I'm from Hungary by the way

80+ 3rd lane: cars, business small vans.
I usually drive at 90 as we have the "tutors" (avarage speed cameras, 10% tolerance so it's 130+10% kph->90 mph, add the speedo error and there you go)
I just set the cruise control and slow down only when all 2/4 lanes are busy.
If you drive like this you often have to move right for people driving at 100+

On the secondary roads it depends. On country roads usually I go from 50 to 80/90 on the straights depending on the size of the road, the presence of speed cameras or the conditions of the tarmac.

On twisty open roads with no cameras and optimal visibililty (no blind corners or blind intersection) sometimes I drive well into 3 figures...

You can guess why in Italy powerful diesels are very popular. A BMW 330d can give you 30+ MPG at 100+ mph.

Well said
like I said I was in Europe two weeks ago. Drove to Croatia from Hungary with a rented car Fiat Bravo 1.6 diesel I was going at 160-180 km/h loved it big open highway no cars what so ever. And still some cars was passing me by
My MPG was unheard !

It was soo much fun!!


Driveing manners are day and night !! like you said ppl know to move from fast lane after they pass slow cars

On my 500 mile drive from Oklahoma to San Antonio, Texas I was getting 32.3 mpg with speeds averaging between 70 and 80 mph. Around town driving I'm getting about 27 mpg. 6MT here.

450 miles...averaging about 34. Crazy! And that's not babying it...varying rpm's for good break-in. With my commute I'm certain I can get at least 36 if not a couple more.

I have 700 miles on my MT Premium and so far I'm at 32mpg. This is due to easy driving during the break-in, of course. My bet is I'll knock an easy 5 mpg off that after I hit 1k miles.

Why, you ask?

Because Racecar..

[bakerr6]

33 spirited (little more than average), 37 if I'm cruising around 70

[Chauntalei]

Just did a round trip to LA for my final break-in miles, and my average is up to about 30.2 (Limited 6MT), and this included stop and go LA driving, and long stretches of open highway. No complaints here!

[ashtray]

Just put gas in for the first time. 290 miles, and 9.8 gallons. Mixed driving. Shifting around 4k rpm, never over 5k. A bunch of driving 50mph behind slow drivers, but also did a 30 mile canyon run in there too. 29mpg is about what I get in my NA Miata doing the same driving.

Limited 6MT

[uspspro]

24 mpg.. mixed driving

hills + ethanol content of CA gas + heavy foot

[nbstar79]

23.5 mpg is my average so far

[WRXGuy1]

32MPG average so far with two fill ups.
