Default I may have unwittingly bought a Nissan PriuZ

I drive a fair amount of highway miles in the average week. Filling with Shell V-Power Premium, I have used the MPG calculator in the car to determine an average MPG of 32 MPG on the highway with cruise set at 73MPH. My '03 Enthusiast is stock performance-wise. Even with 50/50 Freeway/City Driving, I've never averaged less than 25 MPG to a tank. From what I've found searching "MPG" on this board, this is abnormally high. Certainly when I stomp on the gas the MPG goes down drastically. Nice to know I can get 600+ miles/tank if I'm ever on a super long road trip.

Most people with Z's don't drive like you do. Simple as that.

I can drive my Z and get good mpg too, but I never do unless I'm on a road trip. It's too much fun not to.

You forgot to carry the "1" when you divided.

I can get 32mpg when I'm going down a freeway stretch., too But I can't resist the urge to downshift into 4th or 3rd and put a grin on my face.

When I'm going down I-5 at around 70-75mph average, I've also gotten 32mpg.
