G35 17 mpg in city it says, but it actually gets more like 14mpg in city thanks to the Technology Nissan has call the Accerleration swell that Mr J leno loves so much in the Nissan GT-R......

I took my G35 back after having it for one week because I fill it up 3 times in 1-week which cost me $150.00...yes I was pass the 72-hour return policy law.

Mine does about 22MPG. Of course, I don't drive pedal-to-the-metal 24 hours a day, but I do get to enjoy that "Acceleration swell" from time to time.

Mine's an 07 G35 Sedan. I can drive about 385 miles before the "low fuel" warning lamp turns on. The G Sedan has a 20 Gal. tank, and I believe when the light turns on, there are still about 3 gallons left in the tank because it takes about 17 gallons to fill up. So, do the math 385 divided by 17 equals 22.6 MPG. My driving involves about 60% city driving, 40% highway.

I own an '07 G35X and I am getting the exact mileage you stated. 380 to 390 miles per tank full, usually around 17 gallons to fill. I am very pleased because the performance is worth the mpg penalty. If you want high mpg in a sedan buy a ...yawn...Avalon.
