I knew the G35 eats gas like crazy.....but didn't expect that after driving 157 miles over the weekend would mean half a tank of gas gone :beaten: :shamefulcry: :shamefulcry:

I'm going to have to bum ride from my brother when going to play badminton now :sweat:

Use the tranny's Econo mode instead of the Hyperdrive mode. :beaten:

Wow, that's pretty bad.. are you lead-footing it, or just shifting late? or both... :mrgreen:

I think his car's got one of those automanual trannies, so he's probably lead-footing.

i think i'll go with both.

When i use that triptonic or tiptronic....however it is said and spelled....i shift around 3000 RPM going from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. for going into 4th and 5th maybe around 2500 RPM... :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:

but I'm usually just driving auto right now.

Hmm, that seems sorta low in the revs... Though you do have a six-banger.

I'm always in the 4000-5000 rpm range. :beaten:

i shift depending on the torque curve. Oh wait, i drive an auto. :bonk:

but really.. maybe you're shifting too soon in the low gears? wheni drive my friends G35, i was shifting around 3500-4500 thru third gear, and about 3000 on the highway in 4+.. i think it was was 5500-6500 in my friends S2000, but that thing is a heavily mod'd rev-happy monster..
