I hope you didn't buy a Z expecting amazing MPG. They're sports cars. If it were a Prius and you get 8PMG, I'd freak out. Even so, I'd check for leaks, etc. 8 is low, but not too low for what you should be getting.

well the mileage is also relative to your avg speed
so if youre stuck in traffic for 30 mins, its easy to see an avg of 5 mph. in which case, a below 10 mpg is understandable

I get ~15 with my '07 AT 100% city driving. It can go up if I putt around like a grandma, but even then once in a while I open her up and ruin my mpg again.

By the way - my '09 Murano just averaged 25.4mpg on a trip from TX <-> NJ. Mostly highway. Mostly at 80mph 
I was fairly impressed.
Better yes - it has been getting @20 in the city. That CVT is pretty interesting - and efficient...

That's strange.
I get about 27-28mpg on highway.
But in the city 15mpg/20mph average and I mostly avoid trafficlights.
Dirty air intake?
I'm not expecting amazing mpg - but it is strange (too good for highway and too bad for city).
