Nissan Z Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

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

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

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
