True! I will be trading my 06 TL 6MT for 2008 MB Enthusiast tomorrow!!! I'm excited even though I'm loosing navigation, back seat, leather, and my trunk!

 

08s are very nice....congrats~!

 

I love my Z. It is my weekend fun car.

 

Thanks. I'll just have to learn how to drive the best... clutch on my TL is sooo soft and luxury compared to the Z... I drove my friend's 07 today and I was scared driving it... lol

 

The Z was ranked number 1, as far as HP to Gasmileage ratio. So you cant get a better performing car, that gets as good of gas mileage. I forgot the website, i think it was edmunds or consumer reports, or jd power and associates.

 

I actually traded in a 300c with a Hemi so this 350z is great as far as gas mileage!!!!

 

Just put regular in your Z.

Put premium. Live in your Z car if you have to.

The only article I remember was the MSN Horsepower vs. Fuel Efficiency Article:

Hoserpower vs. Fuel Efficiency part 1

Hoserpower vs. Fuel Efficiency part 2

Just wait till you get the knocks from using el cheapo' gas. Also, the price difference between a tank of regular vs. a tank of premium is only $1-3. If you smoke, break that habit and you'll be saving a lot more on that than you would by going from prem. to regular.

 

Listen to Willie, above! I use the cruise control most of the time, & am getting
g-r-e-a-t MPG from my beast! Once a week, I "let go", & really step on it, for
fun. Then, I go back to the conservative mode & just cruise. The fact that you're driving a Z is enough to feel "THAT" thrill, w./o. blowing too much gas!
Relax & ENJOY your monster, guy!!!

 

when my Z was N/A I would get over 30mpg highway and 24-25 mpg around town. Mixed driving would net around 27 mpg. My POS '98 protege only gets around 26-27 mpg in mixed driving so where's the savings?

Even boosted I get over 26 mpg on the highway and around 18-20 city.... don't ask me what my milage is when I run it hard :cough: single digits :cough:

 

Soz is Einstein's son. Great analysis..Z 4ever..

 

just get a bike! at least thats what I did and I'm very happy! I'll drive the Z twice a week or so...

 

Exactly. I try to keep it under 3k RPM's when driving in the city. I get around 24 MPG. Highway I get about 28. I don't need to be flooring it to enjoy the car. I just relax and cruise

 

I think you're showing your age

 

 

Haha I'm not as old as you think

 

Selling the Z because of a $4 gallon gas price? Seems like the OP was living out of his means buying a $30k car and not afford $60 for a tank of gas. And +1 on buying a $35+k hybrid just to get 30 actual miles to the gallon being pretty silly.
