Pure highway, I'm still over 26mpg but obviously its hard to get 2 full tanks worth to average. Oil does run hotter so if you don't have an oil cooler, its definitely recommended since my average temps were around 200 before and now around 215 after a while of cruising at 70mph. I have a 2012 with the factory crap cooler.
I plan on putting the pan adapter plate and an aftermarket cooler. Like I said still haven't had time with it. My oil avg's 220s on the highway. Mines an 11 with an even crappier factory cooler. I'm still having a hard time with the fact they even produce a Z without an LSD as standard, it's not like the added cost wouldn't be pushed off to us anyway.
