15.2mpg for G35 at best?

I just read that on Edmunds.com. It was one of the articles from 'long term test'. I really didn't know about that.
I guess I got no reason to complain about mpg... not that I ever did.

Could never understand those who complain about mpg.

It is what it is.

I take pride in telling people who ask about fuel economy, "If you gotta ask.........yada, yada, yada!"

Right! You can't expect to get great gas mileage with any of these cars. They are targeted and priced for people who are driving enthusiasts and would rather have performance than and economy car and the level of driving that comes with them (BORING).

My friend gets around 20 (auto), but he hauls *** everywhere.

Another friend of mine is getting a 6spd soon, so we shall see.

I have a Service Dept tested and confirmed 16 mpg city and 21 mpg highway. I get this no matter how I drive so I take absolute advantage. Sure I'd like to get better MPG and tried 87 octane but then I started detonating punching up to 6000 RPM, it was a muted rattling sound and like the sound I use to hear tuning my 20G turbo eclipse. I'm going back to 93 for good, more performance and the car runs better. I like those Gs, they are our friends.

Think we are probably ending up at Abuelo's (@75N) for some Mexican food tomorrow night!

If you buy a car that use's Supreme Gas , then how can you bitch about MPG. I get 19=23. It was never a thought about it. If it got 10 MPG i would still love this car.
