Hi Tony!
When you pass exit 100 on the GSP, you're 3.5 miles west from me.
We get very similar highway mileage. But how come your "average" speed is above the speed limit?
The last-gen TL needed a serious tire upgrade (Potenza Pole Position RE960AS). For some reason, Acura stuck either crappy Turanzas or crappy Michelin MXM4s on as OEMs. It took 4 years to finally get a decent tread, then we finally had the car handling the way it should have been.
Then we traded it for a 4th gen TL (but installed better tires right away).
Since the base and sport tires are both quick-wearing summer treads on the Z, it'll be interesting to see how you deal with this. (I'm planning to go down to All-Seasons like the F1 Eagle, on my base/touring, but on the sport rims your choices are more limited.)
