You are being too kind, cossie! :icon18:

Can't knock a product until it comes out or have a chance to drive it. I was dead set on ordering a TDI Jetta until I drove a Prius.

As others have mentioned after breaking in it gets better gas mileage. For me the biggest effect on MPG is the air temperature.

My 370z seems to get the best MPG when its 70-80F out and worse when its hot or cold out. I used to get 26-27 MPG on my way into work (40 miles and 95% highway) and around 25 MPG on my way back.

Now that its been a bit cooler out (50-60F) I only get around 24 MPG on my way in to work and 23 MPG on my way back home.

A week ago, driving home from Atlantic City, I reset the trip computer stuff when I got to the Parkway. Checked when I got off: average speed (54 miles): 83.1 mph. Gas mileage (crosschecked): 25-26 mpg. Modest tail wind.

Two days later I was on the same route, and we got fresh hard-packed snow. I couldn't keep up with friggin' minivans on my OEM treads Average speed: 28 mph. Gas mileage -- hell, I would've poured it on the road if it would have helped the Z stick. This is not a winter-driving car.
