What is your MPG displayed on your trip computer?
Currently on your trip computer, what does it say for average fuel consumption? Just curious because I'm driving the Z like a ***** I don't get any more than 21 MPG.

Think it said 20.3 this morning when I got to work. I have been averaging 20.6 with three fill-ups so far. I drive in bumper to bumper traffic twice a week though, and sitting there really starts to use up the gas.
On another related note: I have seen as high as 23.6 in city driving, though this was during the early break-in, with me shifting around 2500 or less.

At each fillup, I 1) reset the computer and 2) calculate the actual MPG. To my surprise, the computer is extremely accurate. BTW, I consistantly average 22.5-23.5, mixed city/hwy.
