New owner.....FINALLY!

I was kidding, I’m still trying to see the highest I can get but haven’t really drove it on the highway that much as of yet, Now I know what to expect on this tank though

I've seen 27 or 28 with lotsa interstate cruising, but the 9MT isn't just quicker, it's also more fuel efficient. That said, love my 6MT. 19 around town is the best I get.

How the f did you get 32.6mpg, I’m not even flooring my MT but so far highest i’ve gotten is 19 but then again I’m only sitting at 156 miles driven lolol

Well you can see my avg speed was 68 and almost 8hrs of driving. I was cruising at 75-80mph almost the entire trip. All interstate. The auto refuel on the left was the second half of the trip and you can see I was just below 1/2 tank and getting 34.5mpg.

See the temp? A/C was running the entire time too. It hit 105° for a stretch. Imagine if it was like 75° the entire time, might have got close to 40mpg.

I got you, I’m familiar with the auto refuel on nissan but I was using a pathfinder before and highest MPG i ever got was 31, because of course it’s heavier, etc. That’s why when I saw the 32 I was impressed, but I barely have less than 200 miles and I’m racking up the MPG, so far it’s at 21 mpg but I haven’t driven it on a long stretch of highway at cruising speeds to get there, sorry for the confusion!

Wait I missed this and didn't realize you finally got your Z! Congrats dude! I know its been a long time coming. Red is gorgeous too!

Exhaust/downpipes, coilovers, and a tune really changes these cars. Look forward to seeing what you end up doing! Cheers

what is the rpm at those speeds? <2k? On the interstate I’m 3k+ @ 85. To get the same mileage in a m/t , i would have to set cruise at 55mph. lol

There are a lot of hills in my area on the interstate and would see a lot of shifting with a 9 spd.

On your trip, what‘s the lowest gear it drops into when climbing hills on the interstate?

LOL thanks man, enjoying her a lot! And already have swaybars and catback sitting in boxes in the garage, been out of town quite a bit, time to catch up and install them!! Tires and proper cornerweight alignment after that, these S007s as many have said are junk on traction, dry and wet.
