I believe that it is somewhere around 16city 27highway for the manual transmission.
I own a 1978 280Z and get 6 to 8 MPG, of course maybe the 383ci 465HP v8 might be the reason........
How many mpg does a 1980 Datsun 280Z with 4 or 6 cyl get?
Yes, the 1978 Datsun 280Z has seat belts.
yes
1975-1978
1 5 3 6 2 4 Just like the 1976 280Z
On a 1978 Nissan 280Z, the PCV valve is located on the under side of the intake manifold. A PCV valve releases pressure from inside the crank case.
2.8L or 2,792 cc
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)
the gap is .044
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.
N42, round exhaust ports with catalytic liners.
