Admit it, this was on the highway with you going normal highway speeds. The only time I got over 30 was doing exactly that and after a few minutes, it went back down to 22-24.

The true way to figure gas mileage is by MPG per tank. Pretty easy; fill-it up, drive until about empty, and fill-it up. Divide total miles traveled by gallons in on 2nd fill-up = MPG.
What’s shown on all the pics of the trip computer mean nothing. That is sooo easily manipulated.
Frankly, I don’t believe the Z can get more than 30-32 MPG at highway speeds (65-80MPH) on a full tank.
Like I said before, my best was 29.1 MPG -highway speeds with cruise control on and no A/C.

You do get a serious mpg gain drafting behind semis but dont really trust them. They tend to get pissed easily though so i dont recommend driving behind them too long.

Boyah! I know i dont meet the 65 mph.. but this was in virginia.. any one know about the new laws associated with speeding in VA? hence my hesitation. I surely dont think a 5-7 mph diff would make more of a 1000 rpm diff? SO? am I IN?!!?
