I know they say the G35 breaks in around 1k - 1.5k but my car has done nothing but improve in areas of performance, mpg and ride. It was a little bumpy toward the end of my rear tires' life but now with new rear tires the ride is better than ever. I hope this helps. |

Thanks for the insight people. Perhaps I will try the K&N filters, although it will take quite awhilw for the savings to kick in considering the cost of them. Perhaps I do have a heavier foot than I think, but coasting around is not what I boughta 306hp car for,,,stay tuned,,,Thanks again.

| Thanks everyone for the advice. I guess I'm stuck with a powerful, luxury, beautiful looking car that just doesn't have the around town gas mileage I would like. But that's ok. I love the 306 ponys, and letting her loose once in a while. I got stopped yesterday for doing 55mph in a 35mph zone. Sherriff was pissed, BUT let me off with a warning. Unreal. Well keep those cards and letters coming. I love my Infiniti G35X. Long may it roll... | |

| By the way, I'm going to hold off on those K&N's for now. The savings equalibrium point is just too high. Cheaper just to replace with OEM stock. Thirt-eight bucks or so. Also, I know it's not in this thread, but people, PLEASE check/change your cabin micro-filter AT LEAST once a year. I just did mine at one year and 7500miles, and it was filthy. So it does it's job very well, but will impair your AC/heat flow-through system seriously if you don't replace it regularly. It's located behind the glove box. You can order it from an Infiniti/Nisson dealership and try to do it yourself (a little tricky!) or spend $25 and have them do it. It's just that the screws are hard to get at without the proper tools and you have to be somewhat of a contortionist to reach all of them. But trust me, it makes a big difference in the quality of your cabin air, ESPECIALLY if you live in dusty (me) or dirty city air areas. It's worth it. Mobil 1 every 3000-3500 doesn't hurt either. Make sure you use OEM oil filter with the CRUSH GASKET ($.80). Must use that gasket EVERY oil change to eliminate small, annoying leaks. Thanks agin everyone. Jay | |

I've got a 350 mile (each way) road trip this weekend. Will report back results, hopefully with no tickets. I have swithed gasoline to Exxon for a try, from Conoco, and added STP gas treatment to the tank. This is the second tankful in a row that has received it. The first did not seem to do much. We'll see. I'm hoping to see 24-26mpg on the hiighway.

In an act of desperation I have tried regular gas (on the 3rd tank). Much to my amazement and complete lack of understanding.....my MPGS are 1-2 better. What the heck is going on? Same gas station....same (Ish) driving cycle...etc. I'm lost....I worry that a warranty repair will have them check the fuel and bust my stones about the gas....but I just don't get it. |
