MPG on 370z??

you have more problems if the world runs out of nickel, but then i dont mind a free lithium ion upgrade. i keep the z for racing. for stop and go traffic, why am i going to burn premium at a rate of 15mpg when i can do regular at 40mpg. since i drive 20k a year, my fuel saving is about $2000 a year. i do either true city driving or the boring long highway drives, driving a prius or the z makes virtually no difference

imo, there is a big difference even if you drive both cars at 35 mph.
if there's really no difference, everybody would drive a prius, there would be no demand for fast and high end cars.

last time i checked, they sold more prius than z. its a matter of personal preference, who are we to judge?

my prius have been on an actual race track twice, i have a feeling that is more than most "fast cars"

haha. if it really made no difference, you wouldn't have bought the z. you would have bought two priuses
there's a reason why you bought that z. i am sure a prius is a nice ride but you probably would enjoy cruising around town with the z better, when you are not using it for racing.

Of course, but what is the point to pour money down the drain when I am driving to work in rush hour or driving two hours to go have dinner with the in-laws? I just save my money and blow it when I am at the track. I am still wasting, just at a different time

I had no idea your Prius suffered from bipolar disorder ("I'm electric...no wait, I'm petroleum based. NO! nickel fueled environmentally friendly! No, wait! Let's build an igloo out of playsand!").
