Newbie Fuel Consumption Question

[Swooper]

Hi,

 

I've just about made the decision to buya 350Z GT 313 Coupe, but I was wondering what 'real world' fuel consumption figures you guys are getting.

 

Whilst I appreciate that you don't buy one of these for their economy, road test reports seem to vary widely.

 

Can I expect about 22 mpg if I use the car mainly for A and B road use, no towns, not driving like a loony, but not hanging about either?

 

Any advice would be appreciated

Search is great for things like MPG as it's very well covered.

 

On A & B roads making steady progress you'll see something like 24-28mpg.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

 

On a long motorway run about 32. Hooning around country lanes about 18. They arent too thirsty.

[marzman]

My run to work is 50% town and 50% country lanes. I et 21mpg usually.

 

But if im enjoying myself, then 17mpg is very likely.

I average around 24 mpg on my daily 50 mile round trip to work which is a combination of A and B roads and a little bit of motorway.

[Gurjeet]

doing just town (4 miles each way) i average 15mpg. combination 50/50 town and motorway its 22mpg

Hi and welcome,

 

Ive got the 313 version, and i think they are slightly more efficient than the pre 07 ones as i get 25-27 ish normally, 31 if its mainly motorway and about 21 if im pissing about.

 

Anyways, go buy!

Thanks for the replies guys. As you say, you don't buy these cars for their economy!

 

I'll let you know when I've 'done the deed'

Welcome to the forum. I think in metric, not imperial, so I will only confuse you.

Not surprised. Hope you take it for a decent spin at least once a week. Poor thing, short pootle to work and back.
