What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Nissan Z

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

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.

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
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
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
