Ah! Gotcha. Yeah the open roads here allow a bit higher of an average. When I'm in the city it's more like 1/3 that and worse gas mileage.

Cleaned my Z for the first time in 6 or 7 months today. Then I had to grind a fin on the diff thinking that was the source of a rattle against my exhaust pipe. Still listening to a rattle.

Spent another day repairing a deep scratch that some douche did on the N/S rear quarter panel. Its starting to look pretty good now and is hardly visisble, it just makes me wonder why people do these things to our beloved cars!!
