The 3GR-FSE in the Crown Athlete gets about 8.7L/100km, which equates to about 27MPG. Also the 3GR-FSE in the Athlete is tuned with a bit more power, so expect the fuel consumption to be a bit higher than 27MPG. This is US MPG mind you. Hope this helps.

i agree with 1sick too. the gas tank size doesn't mean anyting to me, the gas mileage in general is. i dont' care if you have a 30gallon tank, if your car is like the ford GT with the ridiculous gas mileage, it's not going to help anything

If it goes down to 15 or 16 gallon tank, then that's a 20 to 25% reduction which means more frequent trips to the gas station which sucks.

The current GS has a capacity of 19-20 gallons I think. The new Infiniti M has a 20 gallon capacity. Please tell me this new GS is similar. Thanks.

For us Canadians the fuel tank is 71 litres OR 15.6 of 'Canadian or British gallons which are 'Imperial' Gallons' ,
which is 18.76 U.S. Gallons (or Metric gallons). Just wanted to clairify that one
marc, the new Infiniti M series you mention that has the 20 Gallon tank is in Metric Gallons, not Imperial. So what I'm saying is the Infiniti has only a 1.24 Metric (or U.S.) Gallon larger tank which is about 4 litres more which is nothing as I will bet the GS in both V6 & V8 form will get better MPG over the Infiniti. . Hope this helps.
We should get an Imperial & Metric conversion set up on here some place lol.
