2004 Nissan Z Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2005	2dr Hatch 300-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD	Only drinks premium grade and you can almost see the fuel gauge sinking. 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
