I finally took mine on a road trip and averaged 20 mpg at 70-75 mph.

my car tells me I'm getting somewhere in the 12 to 15 MPG range but I don't see how that's possible. I only get maybe 230 miles from a tank full of gas which isn't too good. but then again, I didn't buy my Z for great gas mileage so it's all good.

I have 900 miles on the car so still abiding by the break in period. Yesterday took a 60 mile RT up towards Ashville and got 20.1. I stayed in 5th and 6th most of the time and kept the RPM between 1000 and 2000. There was a good bit of coasting on the return trip which contributed to that figure. Before that trip I was getting around 17.

15.3 average showing , running around with some mild hammering here and there on the pedal. I did do a test on the hwy and reset the Avg MPG while on nice flat interstate and pulled off a 22.7 Mpg for a few miles but was being very careful with that gas pedal and no cruise on. 6th gear at about 65-70 MPH.

On my 1200 mile road trip, I got 22.9 on 91 octane and 19.5 on 93 octane. (And yes... That is after a reset and it did it both directions)

Good gas mileage!

With 7672 miles on the odometer, I'm getting 17.8 mpg. I try to keep rpms around the 2000 mark if ever possible.
