Using US gallons (NOT imperial gallons) I get typically:
23-25 mpg highway, 16-18 mpg city. (but if I boost a lot around town I can get the city mpg lower still. :p )
(the numbers would be higher with imperial gallons obviously, but I stick with US gallons to stay apples-to-apples consistent with US publication sources) |

My Car is bone stock (with the exception of a single pop charger).
I get about 25 mpg (US Gallons) on the highway and around 19 mpg in the city.
It will depend on your driving style and mood. Some days I drive with a lead foot, other days not so much. |

So are you converting your litres to US gallons for the comparison when you put gas in the car? I.E. a 40 L fill = 10.566 US gallons?
BTW, get your O2 sensors replaced superspeed, you'll find your mileage will increase if they haven't been looked at for a while and are fouled.

Yes. I write my odo and trip numbers on my gas receipt for every fill and enter everything in a spreadsheet at home.
Yes, I'm a geek. :D |

Yeah the redline cleaner is good. I have used it on many a vehicles and it works quite well. I think you can get it at JB's Auto or Nash's Auto Repair.
Only 350 km to a full tank sounds quite low especially for a NA. On my TT I get about 500 km - 600 km on 60 L tank. But again, that's combined city/highway driving. |

| are you serous? well i have no high way driving but wow...thats preetty good also for the fuel inject cleaners how much roughly? and how do i apply? do i just put whole bottle in when i fill up to top? |

Oh I am serious. At the worst, I get about 500 km to 60 L. At best, I get about 600 km to 60L. Again, that is a mix of hard acceleration to moderate driving.
The Redline fuel injector cleaner is about $13-$20 per bottle. You should use 1 bottle to 20 US Gallons (or about 72 L) to do a quick clean. Works great. Just put one bottle in before your fuel fill-up. Burn through one tank and you should notice a diff. |

For what its worth the EPA ratings for the 90-96 300ZXTT are:
city 13.0 L/100km (~18.1 USmpg)
hwy 9.2 L/100km (~25.6 USmpg)
Yes I had that in my spreadsheet too. ;)
BTW, the Z32's gas tank is 72 litres. |

Don't drive a sports car. |

| lol U sure u get 500km to a tank? lol |
|
|
| MixManMash |
yeah. I'm pretty sure I do. I always reset my trip odo everytime I fill.
I have taken my car out to the track (Race City in Calgary) and I managed to blow about 1/4 tank but only drove about 60 kms. lol. |
