I get around 13-19 in city. 19 is very hard to achieve though, I have to drive like a granny. usually around 17, pure city driving.

I get about 25 on the freeway

On my high boost map pump gas, I average 21 mpg mixed driving. That is my 600whp map.

Got to love a good tune. That is staying in it several times. If I stay in it, I get 17 mpg

Nothing unusual about that!

Its a 20 gallon tank, so 450/20 = 22.5 MPG.

22 MPG is about the lowest I ever get, Myine ranges from 22.5 to about 28.

A few notes before I get criticisms... my Accord got much better city gas mileage than other Accords, and I drove the **** out of that motor. Now with the Z, keep in mind that I wasn't pushing the revs since it was during the break-in period, but 18mpg city is simply awful.
I guess you should have kept the Accord

man i hear ya...im on a college campus with lots of people and bikes crossing all the time, so basically all stop and go traffic and im getting 13.9-14.5MPG. I really do wonder if its the stop and go or if its the '03 getting old.

I get 28-30mpg on the freeway regularly. I drive about 70-75 and I try to stay close to people without riding there *** so I can benefit that way. Not sure how much it helps but it's gotta be doing something if I get 29 average on the freeway.

I get around 16 driving through Boston traffic every day, '

24 or so straight highway driving

But like some of you said if you drive your car "right" (boring at 60-65) I have gotten 30 mpg,

...but seriously..... whats the point. Driving "right" Im just as likely to...

- fall asleep at the wheel,
- crash into fuel truck,
- cause a massive explosion,
- causing a traffic jamb,
- which makes people mad,
- giving them road rage,
- leads to guy getting beat with a tire iron,
- another ambulence,
- more traffic,
- more people mad,
- another tire iron incident.... and so on.'

Moral of the story, stop worrying about saving .05 cents a gallon... 350z's run on fried rice anyways
