I get over 400 miles to every tank. Sometimes as much as 440 miles. My drive is pretty much all interstate to work.

Mine is 16.9 consistantly. I reset it every few weeks or so, but city driving is really a Biatch. I think especially with the Z, due to the fact that compared to other cars you have to give it about 2000 everytime you get going with a manual. You can probably ease the clutch out if you have the time but usually cabby up your ***, and in Boston your always fighting for that one car lenght.

And if you drive a stick you're at an immidiate disadvantage for MPG, because almost everyone drives automatics up here, and no one can grasp the concept of a seady roll in traffic, instead there are 30 SUV's in front of you that slam on the gas and then the brakes and then the gas, all while beeping at you if they see half a car lenght in front of you.

Actually it's the same disadvantage for automatic drivers as well, but I think if they had a clutch and had to pop it in and out every 2 senonds instead of just gas and brake traffic would be alot better, where you would always be at a 2-3 mph roll

Try actually keeping track of how many miles you go after fill up and dividing that by how many gallons you refill the tank with. That gauge is just to give you an idea but it's not 100% accurate. There's no way you are getting 9 MPG unless you have a slow leak in your gas tank and are just constantly losing gas.
