Take it to the dealershiop, Thats what i did, it would only let me fill like 13 gallons up and i was getting like 13 miles per gallon, It was some sensor that went bad and was giving it more gas then it needed

i took a 170 mi trip this weekend with first half being 65 mph speed limit and the 2nd half was 70 mph. the first half i averaged about 70 mph, there was traffic and such. and i topped a whopping 30.2 mpg off the trip computer!. it turned to 70 mph (i didnt reset the computer) and it was wide open i was going between 80-85 mph. i watched the mpg sink down to around 29.4. an expected result for higher speed but i was really surprised i cracked the 30 mpg barrier. seems to me the speed for optimum highway mpg (for my car anyway, stock except for a popcharger) is around 70 mph.

I get roughly 21-23 mpg w/about 60-65% highway driving by time. The Z's trip computer is reasonably accurate, usually 0-1 mpg off, but typically with ~0.5 mpg. My Prius on the other hand is getting a lifetime avg so far of ~45.6 mpg.
