Replying to: dudleyr (Jun 05, 2009 7:44 am) Seriously, great job: 47 mpg is advanced technology territory these days. Few can (or deign to) accomplish 45+ MPG. In summation (after recently Road Testing a 2008 Infiniti G37 6M coupe "on sale" for six grand off MSRP): Leaving the dealership with 'Let me alone to think about this test drive" - - - - I headed south - two lane, deserted country road - straight as a arrow. The J30-A4 rarely dissapoints. This time was no exception. Add the 40 MPG potential: The AV6 6M remains for now. Hang in there..........best, ez....

| Ironic, but in SD where we produce much of the ethanol and have E10 mandated for midgrade 89 octane (and one of the highest percentages of stations with E85), we have no ethanol in our 87 octane regular gas even in winter. A side effect is that the midgrade is always cheaper than the regular. I buy the regular without ethanol for the better mpg. | |

Thought I'd update...My year long-term average, since March 08, is still hovering above 25mpg. My yearly average since January is just above 22 and my seasonal average, since the beginning of April, is around 24. I'm thinking I took a minor hit when I bought tires, but can't be sure because my commuting distance also changed recently. The nice part about that, though, is that if I leave at the right time I can time it so I squeeze through most of the lights on the way to work. There are about 15 lights and I usually only have to stop for 3 of them. My last tank was 25.3. Overall still very impressed considering the size of the vehicle and the way that I drive. 62,9xx miles and counting. |

For almost a 18 months, I've been tooling around trying to average 25 mpg - no long trips, just neighborhood driving. My hope for trip mileage in this car was 28 mpg. However our mpg was: one 28 mpg tank and two 31.5 tanks and two 39 mpg tanks. Hot, humid weather required the AC on 100% of the time. Car was overloaded with correct tire pressure. The EXL 4 drive was smooth - drove like an upsale touring model. And for those that haven't noticed the benefits of Grade Logic - drive the Smokey Mtn's - it's a fantastic feature. |

This is the second time I have recorded this level in 18 months of ownership. Details: 2007 EX-L, 4cyl, auto, 40K total miles, original tires at 2psi over recommended, Mobil 1 synthetic oil, AMSOIL microfiber air filter. All highway/4 passengers/trunk full of luggage - 100 miles at 60-65 mph rolling hills...340 miles of interstate at 80 mph all with AC on. 440 miles/11.2 gal (regular) I typically get 28-29 on my daily 30 mile DC commute.

I just filled up the first half tank of gas on my new 09 Coupe, I4. The mpg calculated out to be 25.6mpg. The 285 miles were the first 285 miles on the car and about 60% hwy and 40% city. I'm not quite impressed with the mpg; I am used to crushing the EPA estimates. Even with my V6 Double Cab Tacoma I was getting 22ish mpg. My driving habits are fairly light on the pedal, but maybe I was a little eager to test out my car on the first few miles. So my question is, have people noticed an increase in mpg once the engine is "broken in" per se? Thanks! |
