Ever since I resetted the fuel gauge while coasting it downhill doing around 60mph, Ive been getting between 16-19mpg. I also reset it when I fill the tank up. You also don't wanna sit in traffic for a long time. That's when the mpg goes way down. I sat in traffic for an hour seeing the mpg go from 19mpg to 13.7mpg one time.

The newer vettes get beter gas mileage than 350Z's anyways (unless they get on it alot), so don't worry about that part. In 6th gear with my Z at 70 mph, I'm only pulling about 1800-1900 rpm. My 350 could never do that.
With my 350Z, I was averaging about 20-22 mpg (mix of city/highway driving every day to work).

How much fuel to refill your tank at empty? If you haven't had the tsb service done, then most likely you are only refilling 15 gallons or so. That works out to 17-18mpg.
What type of driving do you do (city/highway)?
