If I granny my Z, I get 16 MPG. If I have some fun, I get 14 MPG. All city driving.

I rather have some

f in normal driving you are getting 16mpg??? Then you might want to look into checking all your filters, make sure you have the proper oil and maybe have your AF ratio checked. That is crazy low for normal driving.

I thought it was low too. When I first brought the car home from the dealer, I was getting 18MPG all city driving. Then when I started modding it dropped down to 16MPG, sometimes to 14MPG if I have some fun.

My car has full bolt-ons, fully tuned, well maintained. I broke the engine in properly too. I just forget about it and have fun with it now.

I drive like a granny almost all the time. I know the Z's can be driven hard, I just like my car too much.

That's strange. With a tune you should be running at minimum close to stock mileage. Maybe the tune you have is race spec and very aggressive??? That may be why you saw a drop in gas?
