What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Infiniti G

Infiniti G Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 My average for the life of the car is 21MPG. Not too bad for a car with this power and my lead foot. see full Infiniti G review
Infiniti G Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Can live with it because of the performance, but wish the mileage was better and premium fuel was not required. see full Infiniti G review
2013 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 What the powertrain giveth, the fuel economy taketh away. Nissan's VQ engines just seem to be thirsty - if you commute in heavy traffic, especially for short trips, don't be surprised at 15.5-16 mpg tanks. I don't know what mostly-highway commuting would look like, but maybe 22-25 mpg depending on driving style. see full Infiniti G review
2010 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 To be honest, it is exactly what I expected, so no real beefs with it. That said, if you are looking for a car that gets better than 19 or so combined, this is not it. Decent freeway miles (24-27/g) but in city it is hard to beat 16/g. see full Infiniti G review
2010 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Fuel economy is poor - about 19 MPG average. see full Infiniti G review
2009 2dr Coupe 330-horsepower 3.7L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 You do not buy a performance car and expect to get good gas mileage. At a 5 mpg or greater difference from my last car, it is taking some getting used too. see full Infiniti G review
2009 2dr Coupe 330-horsepower 3.7L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 average 18 in town 24 highway. see full Infiniti G review
2009 4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 With such a large displaced engine and so much power you will find that you will have so-so mpg if you drive mainly in the city like I do. Especially if you are a "spirited" driver like I tend to be. I am averaging about 14-16mpg 95% city. On the highway its a different story. I have averaged up to 28mpg @ 78mph, I kind of wish I drove more on the highway. see full Infiniti G review
2008 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed manual RWD		 While not terrible, ~20mpg is by no means phenomenal. Relatively comparable cars get ~23-27mpg, but typically also have smaller engines which explains a good portion of the difference. see full Infiniti G review
2008 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Takes a lot of fuel... 14L/100km about. see full Infiniti G review
2008 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Not too great. My average is 19 - 20 mpg, mostly city. see full Infiniti G review

The EPA rates the Malibu turbo 21 mpg city, 30 highway, below the Fusion 2.0T's 22/33 and the Sonata 2.0T's 22/34. The V6s in the Accord and Altima also do better?so much for the inherent fuel economy advantage of a turbocharged four over a V6. The trip computer confirmed the EPA ratings, with a little over 30 in straight 75 mph highway driving and anywhere from 19 to 27 in the suburbs depending on the frequency of reds and the heaviness of my right foot. Go with the traffic flow, and you'll split the difference at about 23. see full Chevrolet Malibu review
