nowhereboy Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 haha! To be fair my civic was tuned and track ready.... Running about 240bhp and with fully stripped interior and fully adjustable coilovers it went like stink. I'm actually pretty certain it would hammer my current Z if it went toe to toe on the track. Thats not to say I don't like the Z, I do but it's just not as quick as I'd hoped. I'm torn between modding it to get a little more out of it or just waiting a couple of month and selling up to get something like an Evo or a Scoob.

GT Driver Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 This is the best I got with the cruise control on the motorway yesterday: It didn't last long. I'm already down to the low 20s after a hoon around the local backroads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspiral Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 At risk of being hounded off the forum........I reset the mpg when I picked up the car three weeks ago. It currently reads 30.8 I've done about 600 miles. This is what comes of having a wife just needs to look at a car to get sick. My daily commute must help as well, it's less than ten minutes in town, 15 mins at 60mph on a motorway. Roll my first trip to the highlands with the boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Also not on the computer but worked out from how many miles to how many litres of fuel I average 26mpg when doing shorter journeys or when hotter but average 31mpg most weeks. My 172 used to manage 35-37 on average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne370Z Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Strikes me that Nissan weren't even very optimistic when it comes to fuel consumption on my 370 when the average fuel consumption bar chart thingy on the connect display only goes up to a maximum of 30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayhoop Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I was pleasently surprised with the fuel economy of the Zed. I remember looking at the quoted figures when i was looking to buy a Zed, and I thought I should be so lucky... but after real world driving, I have found the economy to be fab. It is pretty much on par with a 1.6 Automatic Honda Civic I used to drive as a student! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT Driver Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) This is turning into a thread about showboating contest for the highest MPG in the Zed... it should be about who can the LOWEST mpg!

Av8er Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Mines still in km/L anyone know how to change it... Obviously a new dial but must need a converter wiring ib Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Whatever you guys do like resetting the trip computer on the motorway you will never average much more that 26/27mpg overall so live with it It's not bad for what it is though I'm the first to admit that, although I can now do Birmingham & back on half a tank (60l tank) sitting at 80mph on the motorways Edited July 18, 2013 by spursmaddave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you were scooting along at 70mph.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
