#305 of 391 Road Trip by durangojay Aug 30, 2008 (9:01 am)
Well I have completed half of my road trip to Boulder, co. I switched gas( still premium) and added the STP gas treatment before I left. No tickets , thank God. Now onto the important stuff! Mpg, overall, was 23.2. Not quite what I was expecting, but within my acceptable range. Was driving 70-85mph, with occasional bursts to 100-110. So I'm not too disappointed. Stay tuned for the return trip stats. I will continue to use other premium gas from new stations to see the effect. As to using lesser gasoline, I'm not doing it b/c the gas fill door/Manual says exspitcitaly (sp) () premium ONLY. That's my opinion. And I want all the power my car has available to it. That's why I bought it! Safe travels... Jay
#306 of 391 Issues with rela MPG by keithl Aug 31, 2008 (6:36 am)
So I have said this before, people posting their real MPG is rather useless unless they provide more info, such as the style of driving and driving environement. Also they shoudl post their ave MPH for that MPG since that gives a clue as to how much real moving was going on vs. stop and go. Having that info woudl make for more logical comparisons. Especially since G owners tend to be heavier in the throttle and the 07 did nto help with that FULL THROTTLE like acceleration. Replies to this message: johninnj (Sep 01, 2008 5:46 pm)
#307 of 391 2007 G35S MPG by mtmikey Aug 31, 2008 (4:18 pm)
I have a 2007 G35S and in town here in Atlanta I get only about 14 MPG. Luckily for me I don't drive a lot. I have had the car well over a year now and only have 8800 miles on it, so as you see MPG is not that big of an issue for me. I tend to drive agressivly in town since I love to run this car so much.   On the highway, its a different story. Going on trips up to and from Louisville, KY my mpg has been around 21-22. Very good to me, once again running the car out a bit. : ) Replies to this message: keithl (Sep 01, 2008 5:19 am)

Replying to: mtmikey (Aug 31, 2008 4:18 pm) Thanks mtmikey! I am in ATL as well, I drive 18 mile commute in some light traffic, usually going about 45MPh with a bunch of lights throughout. I average 28-30MPH on a tank and usually get 22MPG. 14MPG would not be acceptable to me, but 19-20 would be. 21-22 on HWY seems low as well. I know the G revs about 600RPM more at 70 than my Acura does so I see how it can suck gas.

Replying to: keithl (Aug 31, 2008 6:36 am) I drive the same scenario and the same way for the most part. I actually find the average speed completely useless as 35 MPH for an hour will give you the same # as 70MPH for 30 mins....and stopped DEAD in traffic for 30 more. Too many variables. I still have no clue why I get better mpg on reg than premium from the same station with the same horrible ethanol in it.
#310 of 391 Crash by durangojay Sep 02, 2008 (7:42 am)
Well my trip back from Boulder was a disaater-lieratally. Hydoplaned off the road, spun twice down an embankment and into a treet. Multiple thousands of dollars in damage. No airbag deployment. Don't get that. But I was unhurt as the vehicvle took most of the force. But she will be out of commiission for a good month getting repaired. BTW my mpg up to that point was 23.3 for the whole trip until the accident. Sad ending, but I'm alright. Replies to this message: johninnj (Sep 02, 2008 9:48 am)

Replying to: durangojay (Sep 02, 2008 7:42 am) holy sh!t. how fast were you going? Is yours an X? That sucks...I hope you weren't staring at the mpg thing....I don't leave mine on "Instant" as I almost rear-ended someone once playing with it : ( Glad you're OK.
#312 of 391 Crash by durangojay Sep 02, 2008 (10:08 am)
Only going about 50mph, but it was raining like hell and yes, I do have the X. But all the electronics in the car (world) couldn't stop this thing or control it. It took a tree. Thank God I have amazing insurance with a very low deductible, so I'll be back on the road in about 3-4 weeks. FYI, I was just driving along listening to the radio...then...WHAM off road into tree. Thank God I walked away....Thanks for the concern...Jay Replies to this message: johninnj (Sep 02, 2008 10:16 am) pscheid (Sep 16, 2008 5:41 am)

Replying to: durangojay (Sep 02, 2008 10:08 am) At least we can conclude the car is built well and safe. I crashed my old TL very hard and was 100% unscathed other than a mark on my wrist form the airbag pushing my watch. I praised that car for it's safety afterward...it was like 16k in damage. Nice to know these expensive cars live up to safety standards.
#314 of 391 Crash by durangojay Sep 02, 2008 (11:35 am)
Absolutely!!! I don't care about the damage. We have a spectacular body shop here in Durango, CO and they will make her good as new I am sure. And I have great insurance with a low deductible, good decision there. But I am grateful that the carsh crumple zones worked well to keep me safe and sound. I'll repeat, I am VERY surprised that the airbag(s) did not deploy, but maybe I wasn't going as facst as I though when I hit the tree. It sure felt like they should have deployed!! But at $1,400 a pop, I guess I'm glad in a way they did not. I wouldn't be surprised if they damage bill was in the same neighborhood as yours - 15-20K. I don't think it's totaled. But what do I know? The body shop will have to tell me what is up. I was protected, that's for sure. I got a nice Dodge Durango for free to use until the vehicle is repaired. Should be 3-4 weeks, I'm thinking. Thanks, Jay
