Default MPG Challenge, who has the most and least MPG
Wondering what kind of MPG people are getting. Post details if possible.

Me: 03 mostly stock Z with 110,000 miles. Only mods are lightweight pulley, clutch, grounding kit, and K&n filter. Shifts mostly at around 3k or 4k.

Average MPG I'm getting is 23. I used to get 21.6. I drive just as aggressively as before, I just use 6th more often. I'm trying to hit 24 with still driving hard when I want to.

Davidv boosted my confidence, I LOVE HIM.
Moving on I get about 19.7-20 in the city and close to thirty on the highway. Ive seen 5.5 or so on the gauge though.
