Hi,thanks for the reply. This 20-mpg that your getting, do you know this information because of the "Status Botton" on the center dash, or is this calculated? I know that the window sticker said 17-22. Thanks.

Sorry for the lag in reply. On the road again.
Anyway, these numbers are the pencil and paper real deal. Surprisingly close to the trip computer calculations.

Thanks for the reply, I'm going to try a different brand of gas. I was told that a better quality of fuel might help to increase my mileage. I didn't know this, I've been using WAWA Gas. I'm hoping that after I switch to Sunoco or Shell, I'll do better. What brand of gas do you use in your G? Thanks Again.

Here in metro Atlanta/North Georgia, I use Racetrac premium (93 octane). While not a "major" brand, it is offered all over our area, and it gets the job done. My retailer told me as long as I use a premium w/detergents, everything will be fine.
When traveling, I usually look for Exxon/Mobil.
Don't know much about the tires. I am not at that point yet. However, I probably will look toward Michelins when that time comes.

MORE TORQUE...

I wish my G37S had a little less horsepower and more torque. I would probably get better gas mileage. More torque would be nicer "off the line". I have to get to 4000rpm before a nice kick, I can appreciate it's a luxury brand, but more torque!!! The horsepower 315 would be fine, that's still very fast, and increase the torque to 300 foot lbs. up from 270. Just a thought, thanks.

I've used Pirelli PZero Nero A/S's as well as summer's on my BMW (530SP). Also Dunlop SP Sport2000 A/S's. I have found the Pirelli's to provide a good balance of grip in all conditions with decent wear/noise characteristics - having switched to the A/S's to squeeze some additional mileage out of a set of tires. Believe there is a price/performance ratio to be considered, so look into doing some research on Tire Rack and using that info to negotiate with your local performance wheel/tire retailer. My guys in Atlanta are superb.
BTW, totally agree that Michelin builds a superb tire, but will cost you more. Only you can determine if they provide the value & performance you need. Again, Tire Rack can provide excellent insight.

Same here, Apple disabled the 12V/Firewire old way of charging starting with the 3G Iphone. Now it will only charge with 5V USB power. I contacted my dealer about some kind of a solution and waiting to hear back from them. In the mean time there is an adapter that Kensington makes with USB charging and Dock pass though that according to the apple forums will do the job.
