What MPH gets the best MPG?

jchammond · 06-23-2017, 07:01 PM

I use to get 28,29 cruising@2500rpm's 75mph;
after adding the much wider wheels/tires...25,26 highway & 22-23 to & from work.

26-28 sounds about right for me on a 75 cruise control if i dont have to touch the brakes or gas for a bit. If im actually driving with traffic 20 is about avg

I averaged 29.8 mpg over a 200 mile trip yesterday. I think my average speed was around 74 mph. I usually get 18 mpg during my daily commute.

Just got back from driving from Cincinnati to Ocala, Fl (est. 850 miles). On the way down I hit a lot of rain which lowered my average mph, but I was able to get 30+ mpg! The picture shows my Average MPG and MPH from my home (about 25 miles north of Cincy) to Atlanta (490 miles). I got a heavier foot after Atlanta and I ended up with about 27mpg for the overall trip down. Since it rained even more during my trip back up I didn't pay attention to my Mpg during my return.
This shows if you take it easy and drive "normal" the Z is capable of getting excellent fuel economy.

Never consider MPG in a sports car. If I was concerned about that I probably wouldn't have a Z. My Acura TL gets fair mileage and my Mountaineer (family truckster) with a 4.5 liter V8 gets even less mileage than the Z. When I saw the topic I thought I had accidentally accessed a Toyota Prius forum
