With the Z's aerodynamics I'd say the optimum is a bit higher than in regular cars. I'd say 55-60 mph. But that's just my feeling after a few longer trips. Never actually compared the numbers.

Erm, what?

Care to check that math again?

Using fuel (car running) while not moving, will eventually empty your tank. Giving Zero miles for your gallons.

Of course you are damn right, Sir! Sorry.
Our way with L/100km would give you the total opposite.
