Trip time=25 hours

Average MPG=29.6

Average speed=66 mph...including traffic jams in the rocky mountains

I could go 500 miles on a tank of gas and still have 80 miles until empty.

oil burned=0 quarts.

I just drove about 1200 miles in it in about 2 weeks and also got around 29 mpg.

Worst thing about the Z is it has no lumbar support, my lower back was hurting soo bad after the trip and my leg would cramp up bad in traffic.

It really was not bad at all. I had 700 miles one day with only 1 fuel stop and 30 minutes for lunch. Back felt great.

Do you have the leather or cloth seats? I have leather and think they are very supportive. I am average size 6 foot 180lbs. I think it would hurt someone big for a long trip.
