dcash5 Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 ...... bit of a poor picture but took this after a long drive to Chesterfield yesterday Quote
dcash5 Posted October 24, 2008 Author Posted October 24, 2008 Average of 59mph aint exactly hanging about, is it ......? Am I in the company of loons? Quote
Murdoch Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Average of 59mph aint exactly hanging about, is it ......? Am I in the company of loons? I think the instant answer would be yes... although you don't really buy a 350Z looking for world record setting MPG I can beat that mpg figure easy, current display figure is an average of 18.1mpg... Its first to 1 that wins isn't it???? Quote
martinmac Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 In the light of recent "cant afford a Zed" threads this actually proves that rather than take a big hit when selling the car can be run at very respectable figures. Always nice to know Quote
Ebized Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Average of 59mph aint exactly hanging about, is it ......? Am I in the company of loons? guess I am so used to filling up having done about half that mpg I forgot that a (relatively) slow average on motorways can get you into the thirties. Quote
stanski Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Bugga!! 34.5 is the most I 've got out on one motorway trip... but it does'nt last and well I dont trust that damn read out anyway - switch it off and have the clock on instead!! he he he Quote
martinmac Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Over 100 extra kilos in the roadster Stan. And me Quote
H5 Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 No, I can't beat that. My Volvo does though. The Zed is for fun! Quote
Stew Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 My landie can't even beat that! :lol::lol: Quote
Chris`I Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 In the light of recent "cant afford a Zed" threads this actually proves that rather than take a big hit when selling the car can be run at very respectable figures. Always nice to know Thats what I always said to them. Its a false economy to chop in the Zed for a more frugal car when you are loosing not only the fun, but a lot of money on the depreciation for a minuscule saving on fuel. If you are worried about the MPG it returns, learnt to drive more smoothly (momentum is key) and hoon around less. But then where is the fun in that! Quote
SunsetZed Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I'm with pretty much everyone else, I reckon I probably could beat it by inside laning it on the m-way with cruise control on but where's the fun in that?! Quote
Lexx Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I have indeed beat that! just dont have the photo to prove it. Managed 37.6mpg on the way to Le Mans due to the sheer amount of cameras on the A1! Quote
rmmackfc Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 ...clutch in, knock it out of gear :yawn: Quote
Adriank Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 As said the read out is way off anyhow, i worked it on mine and it was reading over 5mpg better than the figure actually was lol. Quote
dcash5 Posted October 25, 2008 Author Posted October 25, 2008 I some how doubt mine would be running at 41mpg!!!! Quote
Lexx Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I think Adrian means yours would be 31mpg. The guage reads higher than actuall true figure... Quote
RobD7 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I've gotta sort my driving out, even on motorways I'm getting about 20mpg Quote
Lexx Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I've gotta sort my driving out, even on motorways I'm getting about 20mpg Nah, sounds like you're driving it just right Quote
RobD7 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I've gotta sort my driving out, even on motorways I'm getting about 20mpg Nah, sounds like you're driving it just right - it's the awesome sound it makes which keeps bringing me down into low gears!! Quote
Ebized Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I've gotta sort my driving out, even on motorways I'm getting about 20mpg Nah, sounds like you're driving it just right - it's the awesome sound it makes which keeps bringing me down into low gears!! thanks guys, I was begiining to think I was the only hooligan around here Quote
manc350z Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 WTF.... i've had my car a month and a bit.. done 2.5k miles.. about 20 resets of the MPG avg over all sorts of driving styles and all sorts of roads.. best i have ever got out of it was 25.6 and i was made up.... i reckon the only way i could get more is if i get towed by a recovery truck !!

xStric9x Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 is that possible ? If you fill up or reset it as you are approaching a motorway maybe Quote
