On another note, the amount of gas this car sucks up is horrible as a dd. a sad thing that Nissan didn't integrate direct fuel injection into the engine. Even the genesis has it
I averaged 27MPG driving 100MPH on my way down to Florida earlier this month. Living there now, I average 26MPG overall. Definitely not a gas guzzler to me. My 2013 Nissan Altima rental 2 months ago was averaging 30MPG overall in Florida. 4MPG compromise is nothing if you ask me.

The problem is that the Z is not a congested big-city car, especially not for NYC. You really begin to appreciate the car soooooo much once it's in a state like Florida. I used to average 17MPG in NYC.
