are you crazy ?? the redline is 7500 and this engine doesnt really make much power below 2500 anyway..so this is a good place to start if you find yourself needing acceleration !! just remember..this is a performance vehicle not your average commuter car.

Even so, why should the engine work hard than it has to?
It almost seems that Nissan/Infiniti intended for the G37 to have bad gas mileage.....

hmmm...u sound more of the crazy one if u think cruising at 80mph in 6th gear is a good place to start if u need the acceleration

and why do u need much power if u r cruising at 80mph?

btw, 6th gear going 80mph a lil pass 3k rpm is normal on our car


Quick Reply: 6th gear going 80 is past 3k rpm?
