What's your MPG?
I get about 22mpg driving 60% highway miles @ ~70mph. If I slow down to 65mph on the highways I can get about 23mpg. I also row through the gears right on up to 6th, even on stoplights. The manual says you can shift into 6th as early as 35mph, so your mileage will increase if you just accelerate steadily and upshift before 3500rpms.
i get anywhere from 20-23mpg city and 27-32 on hwy....i try to keep my RPMs slightly above 2K when im cruising. and dont drive like 30mph in 5th gear, that doesnt save gas at all...

It may be that I'm still a fairly new MT driver and sometimes I think I give it a bit of gas prior to getting to the engagement point of the clutch. Not sure that that would make a 5-7mpg difference like that though.
Btw, that's just going by the gauge. Haven't run the numbers myself but I'm generally getting around 200 miles to a tank.
This is almost all city driving.

I think the real factor in this MPG is the avg speed youre recording.
because there are guys who dont believe that we hit 12 MPG because they live in different area than others. In a more suburban area, you might get an avg around 30 mph hence the 20+ mpg
In NY, i avg about...9 mph? hence my 11 MPG

I average around 15mpg consistently. The traffic here is pretty bad. I think I broke 300+miles a few times since I had a Z, and that was when one of 'em was bone-stock. It started going downhill with the JWT popcharger with all that heat-soak in parking lot traffic.

For cross check comparison...fill your tank & have zero on the trip odometer also zero out the electronic display. Next time you fill up, divide the gallons on the pump into the mileage on the trip odometer. Now compare the actual MPG to the number on display. BTW I get 19.4 city driving.
DId you actually calculate your milage? Don't trust the meter, like they say if you don't reset it everytime you fill up it just gives you the 'running average'. FIll up to full, reset trip meter, drive till light comes on, fill up again, divide miles by gallon.
The guage says I get around 19 average but when I do the actual math, its really about 21.

I drive 60 miles daily (30city/30hwy)... and I get 20 - 22 mpg average. I normally get 380 miles on the tank...
When I do just highway for long trips, I have gotten around 26-27mpg and the most I've gotten out of one tank was from LA to Sacramento, 445 miles. According to the guage, I still had 25 miles when I put gas again.
