Wow. Thats awesome. Whats the mileage on your M?

Post by **TxGuy67** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 3:59 am

At 6200 miles I'm getting a solid 20mpg with short freeway/stop & go trips. How many miles do you have and any problems yet?

Post by **yidal8** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 3:59 am

I have just passed 31,000miles . No problems to report . Car is rock solid . It is quite amazing how many people love the car when they first see it in real life , and it is still a dog in the showroom.Reminds me of my 91Q when I first got it . Mine is diamond graphite with premium . I did the tranny TSB , helped for a while , now getting weird again . Is there any other step to the TSB besides reprogram / reset of the TCU ( trans. control unit) ?

Just reset the computer by unplugging the battery overnight.

Im getting 20mpg highway on my Q. Hope to be getting 23-25 on the highway with new o2 sensors and a fuel rail flush...

What kind of city mileage are the Ms getting?

Post by **yidal8** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 3:59 am

My M is getting the same city MPG as my 91Q : 13-14 MPG . But I subconciously drive the M quite harder then the 'ole lady'.The best hwy milage I ever got in the Q is also 20 MPG .

Damn, I feel sorry for you guys with your Q's and M's. I get about 27 mpg on the highway in my G coupe and about 21 city.

MY CAR IS BETTER THAN YOURS IS!!

Next meet we'll do a 1/4 mile.. It would be close on the 1/4 mile, highway speeds no competition..

i may be the only one here who feels this way, but since i have a work van, and a beater sentra, and only use the Q for fun,,,,and impressing the women!!!! LOL ,,,,,,,,,,, could care less about my mileage. fill up maybe once or twice a month!!!! life is good!!! i do average anywhere from 12 to 16 mpg, but i do drive her hard when i get in. will be doing the plenum, knock sensors and O2 sensors soon, so we will see... no offense ryan,,,i do love the g35 but would never trade my Q for one,,,,the M45 on the other hand...........jeff

And I was only looking for other's feedback on the M45 hwy. milage........weird .

Post by **szh** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 3:59 am

On my M45 (with about 6200 miles), I am getting about 15 to 16 mpg in mixed highway-city driving. Long distance driving tends to get about 21 to 22 mpg. I push the car hard, though!

Why is it the firebreating LS engines from GM get 30+ on the freeway? I know they are over a liter larger 5.7 vs 4.5, and they have a 6 speed tranny... Is it because they are of a lower tech design? Those guys have the best of both worlds... huge v8 power, and awesome mileage....

Post by **elwesso** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 3:59 am

Or even the cadillac northstars.. I hear them boasting 26+ mpg on the highway... 18 in the city.....!

What gives!!!

Post by **elwesso** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 3:59 am

BTW, I did a little :fruit When I saw that I got 20mpg over this weekend!!!

Post by **PalmerWMD** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 3:59 am

My 94Q w/ 4.08: yesterday my absolute best of 24 mpg.In 200 miles of hiway driving, cruise set first third at 75, then at 80 last third (or quarter) going about 85 mph.But all hiway hardly ever touched the brakes

Fred..

Post by **AZ94Q** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 3:59 am

24? That's friggin awesome..

you have the JWT ecu, and the 4.08...

I wonder if the level ten helps out gas mileage at all, due it's better efficiceny?

I drive at 75/80 all the time... the Q feels like this is what it likes to cruise at...

Post by **AZ94Q** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 3:59 am

Speaking of the northstars.... The 2000+ run on cheap-o gas..

Of course, according to Infiniti the VK45DE can run on cheap-gas, with no detrimental effects on the engine..

Post by **elwesso** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 3:59 am

Technically the VH45DE can run on the cheap stuff.. Not recommended but possible....

If Fred is getting 24 with his JWT (which would actually HELP gas mileage) and the 4.08, I should be able to get at least 25...

Post by **MattB** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 3:59 am

I get about 26mpg in my G20tA in almost exclusively city driving.
