How many miles can you drive your Z with full tank of gas?
I used to be able to get 30-32 mpg on the highway, but i cant break the 30 mark anymore, now i can barely get to the 28mpg mark, and the car has 25,000 miles.
Best ive achieved is about 440 miles to a tank.
My average city driving here in the heat and humidity of miami gives me about 300-320 miles to the tank, with 17-18 gallon fillups. Im averaging 17.5 -18 mpg in city driving.

How in the world has everyone been getting such high mileage... I do mixed in San Francisco... a lot of hills and stop and go and average around 350-375 adding the guage and trip odometer.
My ave mpg gauge shows 19.2 and I drive like a granny... seriously like a granny. Shift at 2k, occasional spirited driving (like once every couple weeks). Is something wrong with my car??

I barely hit 19.3 today going 70 with cruise control. I usually play when I enter the freeway or exit. Luckily I didn't since a CHP officer who had a hitler moustached drove right next to me. Also I notice if you set it in neutral more often on local, your mileage will go up a whole lot more.

19.2 isn't bad at all for mixed driving.

19.2 seriously isn't bad at all, nothing to be concerned about. Check your air filter just in case it's really dirty.
I have a 23mile commute from work, 2/3 highway miles. I got 30.1mpg on the way home, 6th gear at 62mph most of the way...that's like civic sht.
I can easily get 26 driving concervatively. Man I love this car,speed, handling and mpg.

yes i am an 03 manual. how about you. maybe the 03 models dont get great mpg. I WANT MY MPG!!!
I just did a run up to DC again, cruising at 75 and got 28.5 MPG. My last run under the same conditions was 28.2 MPG. I'm pretty sure the Nismo exhaust has something to do with it because I used to average around 25.5 MPG before the Nismo exhaust on the same trip.

If you actually DRIVE your car spirited once in a while and use some of that torque your MPG will drop.
If you're concerned about mpg, check air filter and tire pressure.
