I drive through a lot of stop and go and my MPG sits around 20-21.

I didn't spend the money for this car to drive a pickup or some sedan every day, what fun is that? these cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed, then one day, before the miles pile up too high, you can retire and restore and enjoy for as long as you want. But yeah, I am driving my Z every day.

I've made it up to 520 miles on a tank, getting 31 mpg on the way to Albuquerque and back, thats almost as good as some hybrids.

I in no way have a light foot and I still average ~19mpg. That's with a track weekend included.

Just looked it up, 18.49mpg. Max 22.04, min 9.85 (track weekend)
