Tapps Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I have owned my 2004 350 for nine years and have loved it for its reliability, subtle charms and for the great satisfaction derived from driving it on the right roads in the right way from time to time. I am considering buying a 370 Nismo, however would very much appreciate any insights on how much worse the fuel economy would likely be. I appreciate that a 370 is going to be thirstier than my 350 but a little more detail and precise facts from anyone would be valued. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne370Z Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Not a Nismo (which I doubt would be much different) but mine averages 27mpg according to the trip thingy. Mostly driven around town and in the countryside, not so much on motorways now due to their sparseness in Lincolnshire and mostly with a conservative right foot. I`ve no idea really what it drops to when you do start pressing on around the country lanes but the fuel consumption chart thing on the display seems to constantly plummet downwards and stay down there.

Umster Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 370z with upgraded air intakes, aftermarket exhaust and a remap, usually get 35 on the motorway and 28 in town. Cruise control helps keep MPG down on the motorway but spirited driving will easily take you down to 10mpg. Stock NISMO won't be too different.

Wheels 370z Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 18 plate Nismo, 3400 miles from new. Averaging 25.1mpg. Exact same mpg as 10 plate 370 gt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke350 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 My 18 plate nismo is definitely better mpg than my 350Z HR was. I’d say by around 4mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formatzero Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Havent found much difference between 350z and 370 gt edition in fuel consumtion . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormWhite Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 `There must be something wrong with my car I generally see around 22MPG but I do mostly "Urban" driving. On the motorway its amazing the way that the "miles before empty" increases dramatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Must be nice living in the sticks where you can get off the driveway without harrasment and traffic jams. I was averaging 18 MPG but on motorway that jumps to around 26mpg if you reset the trip. Mostly town and dual carriage way twice a week to get fuel. That was a 17 Nismo. Covering around 80-100 miles a week. £35-£50 per week. The 350 was a lot better. 24MPG average. Yes some spirited driving but 90% of the time sticking to 30mPh and driving reasonably.

Payco Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 2016 Nismo 370z owner. Average 26/27 mpg driving it as needs to be driven. Burns the fuel more if you starting pacing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
