Default Who is getting the best gas mileage?

Here's my latest record. While driving to work this morning, I was cycling through to check tire pressure and saw this! Apparently, my car like to drive 53 mph. I have the Technosquare ecu and lighter rims/tires. Wonder if thats whats doing it?

13.4 is my average right now because it just broke in

But normally its around 14-15 because of the horrible stop and go traffic where i live. Most i've had is 29.5 on the highway

I was very suprised that on my 1st tank I averaged 22.1 mpg. My 2nd tank in gridlock was 19.6 mpg. This is still way better than my last 2 Z's which averaged between 17-19 mpg and had a LOT less power.

Just another thing us Z owners can brag about over the S2000 and RX-8 guys.

Ditto on the 22mpg numbers. I've had my Z for 3 months and just reset my mileage today...I had 22.3 average mpg and an average speed in the mid-high 30's. Not too shabby, I think!

MPG at about 23.5 but I do little city driving. I am convinced if I kept my foot off the gas a bit more I could get 25 MPG.

average is 15.5-17.5mpg.
