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.
Wow this tank gave me a range of 240 miles.

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
Closer to 350lbs
