That is not that bad? What kind of driving was the 231.90 miles? HWY or City or combo?pintsize725 wrote:Filled up today when tank was down to what gauge showed 1/4 tank. Filled up with 12.808 gallons. Mileage on trip was 231.90. This means my mpg was 18.1058ish. Correct?
This just happened to me this week. I ran out in the middle of no where and the only place close by was a Pioneer (Canadian) station. My friend always uses them and had nothing bad to say about them so I filled up on 91. A couple of KM's down the road and the car didn't seem as "peppy", then the rest of the tank I noticed I had to give it more gas going up hills and acceleration from a stand still and while rolling was sluggish. Then I noticed how bad of mileage I was getting and it ended up being almost 75 KM less than normal on 3/4 of a tank!kmckis1029 wrote:
+1 my gas milage closely follows this... as long as im not using shells new nitrogen enriched gas... i was using it for a month and kept wondering why my gas milage was sucking... then one day the power was out at the shell station usually go to... so i had to get BP gas... and my milage shot up back to normal... i was like WTF!!!
my 2005 G35x seems to like BP or Chevron... my point is change gas brands and see what happens...
WaWa's are convience stores that sell gasoline. Similar to 7-11 They are able to sell gasoline for a few pennies less because they charge higher prices on some food items. They are always very busy and pump a lot of gas.pintsize725 wrote:What is WaWa?
I guess I'm happier with that vs 14 mpg. Maybe the new spark plugs helped? Driving this tank was more along the lines of 70% hwy/30% city.
I buy Shell gasoline 95% of the time. The other 5% of the time I buy Mobil. I track my mileage every tank. Maybe I should try Mobil for a month and see if there is any difference. The G has been more consistent year round than my old Neon was. The Neon had a seasonal variance of about 7 miles per gallon. The G only varies by about 2 mpg at most.kmckis1029 wrote:

+1 yep car feels sluggish and everything... now my G has life again... no more shell gas for me... that just proved to me thats their is a difference in gas between the brands and its not just marketing hype...srv2nv wrote:

I ended up filling up around the 1/8 of tank mark and before I reached my house I noticed the life coming back to my car as she became her normal perky self. Note to self, avoid Pioneer gas stations from now on.

24MPG may be possible if you filled the tank and didn't stop to refill until you reached the 1/4 mark.Any stop and go usage kills your overall MPG. So does cold weather.I'd be willing to bet that if a 6 speed manual and a G35X drove side by side at 75MPH for 300 miles non stop the 6 speed would have the better resultpits200 wrote:I mean aren't you guys with the X a little annoyed with the supposed 24 MPG highway mileage that you're suppose to get.
My wife has an 04X and I change everything regularly. Just changed the spark plugs, transmission fluid, transfer case fluid, differential fluid, transmission fluid from the matic-J to the matic-S, synthetic oil change, cleaned the air cleaner, PVC valve, inflated tires to 38psi and cleaned the throttle body.
After doing all of this 2k miles ago, she went from 20mpg on the highway to about 21 and she is a granny driver. She keeps it in the 70-73mph range.
Never once has she seen anywhere near 24mpg claimed by Infiniti.
