Hey,

How are your 350's on gas, I'm getting 400 miles to a tank of gas, seems good to me? I have an intake, plenum, full exhaust.

That's a good one. Are going off what it says on your computer read out? I get about 20-23mpg, I drive fast.

I got a Nismo exhaust and intake.

I have the 06, I don't go by distance til empty, if I have say 25,600 miles I won't need gas until 26,000 miles and then again at 26,400 I would need another tank etc and this is miles not kilometers, I take it by your answer I'm getting amazing gas mileage, i drive fast as well.

I get somewhere between 350-400 miles a tank under my normal driving conditions . My commute is 95% highway/interstate so there's almost no stop & go to deal with.

The sweet spot for mileage on my car seems to be around the 70 mph mark. The highest sustained mileage I've seen on my trip computer is 28.1 miles per gallon.

Drives on The Snake or Tail of the Dragon seem to result in significantly lower numbers.

if Im just doing around town driving I only get about 250-300 per tank.. but if I do all highway I can easily get about 400. It really all depends on how hard you are on the gas and if its highway or city.

Same here. I do a lot of stop and go driving. I rarely need to get on the highway unless I want to have some fun. So about 250 to 300 is the norm for me.

I used to get roughly 21/22 but as soon as I put my 1/2" plenum spacer on it went down to about 18

If you're complaining about the extra $5 a tank you pay for using premium maybe you should be driving another car.
