Chevrolet Impala Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Sedan 300-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	I got 468 miles on a tank of gas from Greenville TN to Charleston SC then to Myrtle Beach. Very impressed see full Chevrolet Impala review
2011	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	So far so good with E10 Fuel I am getting an average of 27 and I only have 500 miles on it so far. I now have over 3000 miles and just got back from a long trip 1/2 of it hilly. I set the cruise on 67 and let it go averaged over 32mpg by the end of trip see full Chevrolet Impala review
2009	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Averaging 25.0 mpg in mixed driving, very good for the size of the vehicle and the the fact that it is a V6. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2008	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Fuel Economy beats smaller sized cars, let alone others in the same class. 30mpg is not hard to attain. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2008	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Its a full size car that gives good performance and still gets 30 MPG on the highway. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2008	4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	If driven carefully, 22-30 MPG around town and 33-36 MPG highway. If you are a sloppy driver, make that 18-20 and 25 MPG. see full Chevrolet Impala review
2008	4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Mileage averages 23-24 around town and close to 30 on road trips which is quite good considering engine size and power. see full Chevrolet Impala review

2007	4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Only get about 25 mpg on interstate with the 3.9 Active fuel management is a gimmick in my opinion and older GM cars with a V6 I have driven have been better with fuel economy than the 3.9. see full Chevrolet Impala review

Nissan Z Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I recommend changing your oil as soon as you get the car with basic 5w30 oil. Then @ 1200 miles use the nissan ester oil. @ 5000 miles switch again to a premium synthetic. Redline, Royal purple & amsoil. Engine will run supersmooth with 23mpg avg. see full Nissan Z review
2011	2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD	Reasonable fuel economy considering the 332 hp and 270 ft lbs of torque available. see full Nissan Z review
2007	2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD	If I shift between 2k to 2.5k, I get about 22mpg city and 27 mpg hwy. If I shift at 4.5k rpm (which I mostly do) I get about 16 mpg city and 20 mpg hwy. see full Nissan Z review
2007	2dr Convertible 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Very Good and exactly as projected with pump fuel 93. Higher octane race fuel affords better mileage ,as with any vehicle proper maintenence ensuring air filters are clean . I change my oil every 3-5 000 miles and I love this car see full Nissan Z review
2007	2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD	Good gas mileage for a car with over 300 hp. see full Nissan Z review
2003	2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD	A lot better than the previous Jeep I owned. It is average in the car market today though. see full Nissan Z review

2011	2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Withoout high quality (pricey) synthetic? Good look getting anything over 20mpg. see full Nissan Z review
2007	2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	terrible fuel economy for urban owners see full Nissan Z review
2007	2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD	It was worse than my 303 hp 5.3L V8 Grand Prix, and though it was faster off the line (by about .3 seconds), the Grand Prix GXP was much faster in highway gears. So better MPG and more juice at highway speeds made the GP a better choice for me. see full Nissan Z review
2007	2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD	If you drive it hard, you get 17mpg. see full Nissan Z review

2004	2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	it is a sports car see full Nissan Z review
2004	2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD	This car's fuel economy shows how much the world has moved forward with regards to fuel management. My commute is pretty much 50/50 city/highway, and I get 19-22 MPG on average depending on weather and A/C usage. My best tanks were in the 26-27 MPG range on those long trips to NY/FL. For reference, a 335i makes more power and probably averages about 22-24 MPG in mixed driving and can get over 30 MPG no problem on the highway. When you drive ~25000 miles a year that definitely adds up. see full Nissan Z review
2004	2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	You have to drive like a grandma to get the estimated gas mileages. more realistically you are looking at 15-19mpg average, totally dependant upon how you drive. see full Nissan Z review
2003	2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	You might not care about fuel economy in a sports car, but as my daily driver I spend about $200/mo in gas. see full Nissan Z review
2003	2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD	it can get low when driven the way its meant to be driven (under 20) but if your just cruising it can get about 27-28 see full Nissan Z review
