Usually around 25 or 26 mpg. I have a 82 280 zx and on my best weeks i would get around 26 mpg . I drive 115 miles round trip all highway miles every day and dont get much better.
How many mpg does a 1980 Datsun 280Z with 4 or 6 cyl get?
I get 27 mpg
I own a 1978 280Z and get 6 to 8 MPG, of course maybe the 383ci 465HP v8 might be the reason........
Per the 1976 Datsun brochure (280Z and 280Z 2+2):Federal emissions:16 city, 27 hwy (manual) 17 city, 22 hwy (auto)California emissions:17 city, 25 hwy (manual) 17 city, 22 hwy (auto)
45 mpg
90000 mpg
I believe that it is somewhere around 16city 27highway for the manual transmission.
I had a brand new 1978 Datsun b210, 5 speed, No A/C...got a minimum of 33 MPG if caught in traffic in NYC. I consistently got over 45-48 MPG on the highway. Broke 50 MPG coming down a mountain once. Wish I had that car now. Why can't today's offerings match that?.
from this site http://www.mpgomatic.com/2007/10/08/super-cheap-high-mpg-cars-1978-1981/ it shows that the Datsun PICKUP 2WD does 39/48
27 mpg hwy
18 to 24 depending on haw you drive and whether you're using the AC
AnswerI have a 83 with a I-6 and it gets great mpg. 35 and i have done nothing to it.
