Has any1 ever averaged 25/26MPG on the highway... EVER!

I've been driving this car for a just under two months now, and I dont mind stepping on the gas pedal but I cleared its average once right when i got the highway before a long drive and didnt even get close to 20 mpg average...

I just took a trip all highway to the beach, with a passenger and the trunk FULL. (Sedan btw, not the coupe that only fits nano-particles in the trunk) and I averaged 25.1mpg. This is with dino oil and the motor still has some breaking in to do. I'm thinking I can get 27 or so in the future.

I can average 25mpg easily (20% local, 80% Hwy).

I got 29+mpg doing 200mile all highway at 75-80MPH. I did a couple of DS/Manual downshifts to 100MPH during this trip. I was surprised.

i average 28-32 mpg on the highway unless its a parking lot in which case its 16-19mpg.

But thats when I drive fuel efficiently... When I drive how I like to... 14-16 mpg city and 20-24mpg highway

Same here, I've averaged 26-27mpg on long highway drives easily, keeping a constant pace and averaging 75-80mph like someone mentioned above. Driving aggressively, I'm looking at 18-22mpg highway. Don't see why your Sedan can't 2009g37xs. Seems like you should have gotten a Coupe FTW!!!

What's the deal with MPG? You bought a car that has 328 hp and you're worried about MPG. Maybe you should have gotten a hybrid.

I drive mostly city, my wife drives mostly highway (with the coupe) and I get around 18 and she gets 17. When I take a long trip, I get 27 to 28. Not taken the Coupre on a long trip. Might be the trunk issue or lack there of. The mileage depends on the amout of time I want to spend driving. The beauty of this car is that if your impatient it will help get you there faster. But you got to look out for the police.

27 mpg highway easy at 75 mph. I could get 30 if I watched it. 18-20 mpg city. Now if I drive it like my old Evo, I get 14-16 mpg city. Wow, the Evo only got 10-12 city -- G37 ftw! lol
