You will probably say 'if your worried about fuel don't buy a Z.' but out of curiosity how many miles do you guys get out of a tenner? Not that the answer will put me off because i really want one now ;-) TIA

Well it costs me just under £50 to fill up and I get just over 200 miles, so that would be about 40 odd miles.

 

Vijay

 

£50 fuel gives me 200 miles of general driving and 275+ miles on long trips.

 

This is around 15-22 miles to the gallon which isn't bad for the performance.

same here thats the wierd thing about a z taking it easy or getting giddy i still only get 200 miles on £50 quids worth

 

i found on in germany that i got aroound 320 miles to a tank , but around london 220 if im lucky, but i think i drive like a girl!!(or so i have been told by craig)

 

Between

 

9 liters /100 km (relax driving style, 90km/h

10-12 liters / 100km (highway, 140km/h average)

 

15 liters / 100 (city, traffic jam, stop & go)

 

 

and.....

 

up to 45 liters / 100 km (Zandwoort F1 Circuit !!

 

And, one tank contains 75 liters of gas

 

You do the math

 

I do 400 miles mon-fri which costs me £100.

Today I travelled 250 miles on £50 but I drove slower because of the weather.

 

I get 270 miles driving to and from work on a tankful. I managed 375 when doing motorway driving - that was doing from Merseyside to Luton on 2.5 hours...so I wasnt slouching either!!

 

I get about 19mpg in the traffic going to work and back, but it drops in winter and has dropped since the sh*tty ultra low sulphur fuel has appeared. Up to 25mpg dawdling on motorways though.

Car is pretty much standard except for a K&N panel filter.

...i dearn't tell you what I get out of my na 300zx in case any of the other guys see - but on an average trip round the M25 (ie 80ish) with a passenger its over 31 mpg. With my wife in the car (slower) on a long run its even more.

 

...good luck

On a similar note ...

 

How much fuel is left when the warning light comes on ?

How far do you dare go ?

 

Well!!

 

On a run with cruise on set @ 65 I have got 28 mpg.

For a while (11 Months) as a daily drive down the A12 (52 miles round trip) I was getting 25mpg.

 

I had a break from the Z for a month 8-( and used my 1.2 Nova Merit which returned 44 mpg, putting 25 quid in as apposed to 42 quid meant more beer money 8-).

 

Went back to the Z 8-) and now getting 22 mpg!!! I don't care can't live without my Z.

 

My opinion the less MPG the more fun you are getting otta your Z.
